Traveling is a way to
recharge your batteries and discover new cultures and different places . For those who live in the capital of São Paulo, you don't have to go far to enjoy places that offer all these qualities – several
cities in the interior of São Paulo are true gems, with stunning architecture and well-preserved nature. Below,
discover five cities that will surprise and delight you and add them to your travel goals:
Jordan Fields
Known for its
German architecture ,
rich cuisine and abundant nature , Campos do Jordão is a much-loved destination, especially among lovers. There you will find a very calm, romantic atmosphere full of attractions.
Two
tourist attractions that cannot be left out of your Campos itinerary :
Capivari Park , where you can go on sleigh rides; and the
Sans Souci bookstore and café, a place that looks like it was taken from a fairy tale book.
Saint Anthony of Pinhal
Very close to Campos do Jordão is this charming city in the middle of the Serra da Mantiqueira. Santo Antônio do Pinhal is an option for adventurers who want to escape the hustle and bustle and nightlife of Campos and experience something completely different, such as
hiking and waterfalls .
Holambra
The famous "city of flowers" is the perfect place for those who want to
connect with nature and also take a
mini trip to Holland without leaving Brazil . This is because traces of Dutch heritage are still very present in the region, whether in architecture or gastronomy. It is worth planning to visit the city during Expoflora, which usually takes place between August and September. However, for those who want to travel before and avoid the high season, there are many other activities such as
the Museum, Van Gogh Park and the Flower Fields. Black Mountain
A mountain town that is pure hospitality. Serra Negra stands out for its
well-kept squares , farms with
day use that put you in
contact with nature and animals , good food and a constant subliminal invitation to rest. It is worth taking advantage of your stay and visiting
Alto da Serra at sunset, the highest point in the city, which is 1,300 meters above sea level and offers a panoramic view of the city. Another tip is the
cable car ride, a route made with individual chairs, which takes tourists to the
Christ the Redeemer statue in Serra Negra .
Saint Roch
A perfect trip for those who want to take a day trip to the countryside and feel like they are in a real Italian village. In São Roque, it is worth visiting the
Railway Station to take photos , take the
wine route and even go to the
Igreja Matriz , which protects a
historical collection with paintings, sculptures and other Italian heritage.
