Det brasilianske Schweiz - Dagstur på Campos do Jordão fra São Paulo

We had a lovely trip to Campo de Jordão high above the mountains. It was a serene hideaway above the clouds overlooking majestic mountains and valleys. The stop at a chocolate factory was lots of fun. Really enjoyed a few hours to have lunch in the picturesque town square. Lots of great restaurants and shopping options. Our guide Maurício and driver Moises made the trip very enjoyable. If you are in São Paulo for a few days the trip provides a nice contrast to the big city experience. I highly recommend it.

Boring trip, basically got nothing to do in this town, except to relax. But there’s no national park/good nature spot, and the town is overpriced. Won’t recommend anyone to go.

This tour was very beautiful as we could see very beautiful mountains, the chocolate factory as well as swiss and british houses on the mountains. The swiss village was also exceptional and beautiful for visit - and had many houses and restaurants.

Excellent experience! Our guide Mauricio was extremely knowledgeable about the history and geography of the area, took great pictures and added humour to the conversation. The scenery is beautiful and we had a fun time

Far but definitely worth the trip !!! Mauricio was our guide. Knowledgeable and fun. Considerate with our group , made us bond from the begining.

Wonderful place,just amazing for relcahr and rest differentiated gastronomy,great place for vacation

Booking cancelled & refunded last minute! Meeting time 8am, waited untill 830am. No response from operator through messages. Did not answer call twice. Desperately contacted operater for since the night before, took a taxi down to meeting place, was early. Payment went through, booking was confirmed. When I managed to reach operator, Everyone as panicky and thought it was. Scam. Operator had No apology and said TripAdvisor did not inform them. It’s not their fault, the bus has left half an hour before meeting time in itinerary and there is no time to pick us up.

Great experience! Wonderful guide and super responsible driver. Wonderful route, charming place. Ready for more experiences.

I have been to Brazil on business many times over the years, but not as a vacation. This time I stayed with a friend in Sao Paulo and travelled to Campos do Jordao, it was a great visit; I'm very used to traveling in Switzerland and this little village although very commercial by Swiss standards, is well worth a visit. It’s a very good take on a typical Bavarian/ Swiss style village. It has excellent, if a little expensive restaurants, some great beers and a friendly bunch of locals and visitors. As it was mid-May, the local “Paulistas” were wearing their winter clothes, but as a NJ dweller it was shorts and a short sleeve shirt for me! Dinner service starts early in the main street and continues late, almost every restaurant had live music (some too loud) and “barkers” to entice you in. Don’t miss a trip to the “mountains”, OK, not as high as in Switzerland, but still a lovely view if not cloudy. There is also a “cable car” that will let you have a great view of the town itself. We missed a visit to the new nearby historical museum since it doesn’t open until October, the articles suggest it will be worth the visit. We ate in several places all were enjoyable, one was exceptional with a but … We liked the look of El Fogon -165, however when we arrived, we were the only customers! It’s not the main season yet and the location is just away from the main drag. Our steak with fries and mushroom Risotto was superb, just remember many portions in Brazil are large and often a half portion is enough fto share between two. My friend selected Villa Amista as our hotel, it’s a modern hotel just around the corner from the many Swiss style buildings and has great facilities especially the included breakfast – highly recommended. You can find many pictures of the buildings online, so I will not repeat them – but this town map be of some use. The tram was not running when I was there. So don’t just think about it, include Campos do Jordao and surrounding area in your visit.

This excursion is perfect if you want to do something different in São Paulo, Mauritius is an excellent guide, fun and culturally savvy speaking. The landscape of Campo de Jodāo is beautiful, the architecture beautiful, it feels like it is Europe. We loved everything!
