Embark on a private exploring adventure at the Cantareira State Park, a scarce 40-minute drive from the center of São Paulo.

Your journey’s primary destination is Pedra Grande (big rock), an observation point perched at 1010 meters, and approximately 5 kilometers from the main entry of the park – a round-trip distance of 10 kilometers. This site offers an exquisite panoramic view of São Paulo.

The trail to the Pedra Grande overlook is marked by unpaved roads that incline upward, with a mild level of complexity, enveloped in indigenous woodland. The path reveals a rich topography full of small waterfalls, animals, particularly monkeys, and vibrant flora.

Roughly, an hour and a half into the trail from the park’s entrance lies a serene lake. Here, take a respite and then continue the journey for another half hour until you reach the overlook.

Upon reaching the peak of Pedra Grande, you’re presented with a breathtaking landscape capturing the full expanse of São Paulo, allowing you to gaze upon the valleys surrounding the largest city in the Southern hemisphere.
