Walk to the Big Rock in Cantareira State Park: Optional airport pick-up

Take a private guided hiking tour in the Cantareira State Park, about 40 minutes away from São Paulo’s downtown by private vehicle.

The hike has the main target of reaching Pedra Grande (big rock) which is a 1010 meter high belvedere about 5 kilometers away from the park’s main entrance (10 km walk round-trip), where visitors can contemplate one of the most splendid views of São Paulo.

In order to reach Pedra Grande viewpoint, visitors hike on unpaved roads uphill, on trails of light level of difficulty and surrounded by native forest, lush landscape, little falls and animals, particularly monkeys.

About an hour and a half walk from the park’s main entrance, rests a beautiful lake. Take a break at the edge of it, then continue on for more thirty minutes reaching out the belvedere.

Once on the top resting area of Pedra Grande, take in the incredible views spanning all the vastness of São Paulo looking across the valleys towards the largest city in the Southern hemisphere.

We meet you at your hotel and depart to the north of the city. After about fifty minutes of travel, we enter Cantareira State Park, a natural reserve that extends over more than 7,900 hectares: the equivalent of 8000 football fields!

Once we’re among the Cantareira mountain range, we begin our hiking itinerary leading us to reach Pedra Grande. Along the way, we will be able to contemplate the lush natural landscape and small waterfalls, as well as observe the animals that live in the park. Keep your eyes peeled and, with a little luck, you will spot some monkeys!

After an hour and a half of walking, we will make a stop on the shore of Lago das Carpas, where we can regain strength and relax in the midst of nature.

We will continue our journey for another thirty minutes, until we reach Pedra Grande, a viewpoint located at 1010 meters above sea level from which we will enjoy incredible views of São Paulo and the valleys surrounding the city. The contrast between the metropolis and the surrounding forest is truly amazing!

Finish off with a fantastic lunch at “O Velhão” restaurant complex (not included) and sip the famous cachaça, the Brazilian national drink of which the restaurant offers many varieties.

Our experienced guides are local experts on the regions ecology and wildlife with an unmatched passion for the area.

On the way back to São Paulo, you will have the opportunity to ask the guide for more information about the flora and fauna, but also about the history of this area.

We conclude the activity by taking you back to the starting point in São Paulo.
