Campos do Jordao
Feel free to explore at your own pace and discover
Stop: 2 h 30 min - admission not included


At 1,628 meters (5,341 ft) above sea level, Campos do Jordão holds the title of highest city in Brazil, and is a popular holiday retreat for the country’s well-to-do. Befittingly, the architecture of Campos do Jordão draws inspiration from traditional European alpine architecture, making it one of the most unique cities in the country. The downtown is packed with bars, restaurants, and shops all housed in colorful half-timbered chalets. Be sure to take the time to tour the Boa Vista Palace (Wed-Sun 10AM-5PM). Built in 1964 as the winter estate of the then Governor of the State of São Paulo, Adhemar de Barros, this 3000-square-meter chateau is filled with thousands of pieces of furniture, paintings, and objects d’arte. The tour is free, and done on a first-come, first-serve basis.
