Beautiful hike with animal sightings and a great guide - This experience was so fun! Our guide, Luiz, was amazing and really went out of his way to make sure that we had a special experience. He took his time walking through the forest and never made us feel rushed. At the top of the hill he had even brought us snacks and drinks to enjoy! The hike itself was steep and was a challenge at points but definitely doable for someone with a moderate fitness level—especially because Luiz encouraged us to take breaks when needed. We saw many small monkeys and birds, and learned about the trees and plants in the forest. At the end of the hike, Luiz even helped us plan what we would have time to do for the remainder of our day and was so flexible to drop us off at a different location than our pickup spot. Overall, this was a great experience and we would definitely recommend :)

Great adventure for wildlife lovers near Sao Paulo - This was a great way to spend most of a day in Sao Paulo. The hike to the top was moderately challenging but not very long. My guide Luiz was awesome and friendly. We managed to see several bird species as well as black tufted marmosets and black horned capuchin monkeys.

Highly recommend! - Luiz was amazing. Five stars isn't enough! His knowledge of the area, the Atlantic Rain Forest, birds, monkeys, etc. is impressive. Luiz keeps it interesting and fun. The scenic hike itself is steep in some parts but doable if you are in reasonable shape. My wife is 59 and I am 62. We did fine.

The highlight of our week in São Paulo. - Jaraguá park was the highlight of the trip to São Paulo for me. Our guide, Rafael, was outstanding; he was knowledgeable, friendly and patient, accommodating an 85-year-old, who has done no hiking, an 84-year-old, who has done a lot of hiking, but not recently, and our 61-year old daughter, who has done little hiking, and is recovering from a broken shoulder. Accolades to Rafael! I give him ten stars!

Excellent Tour - Luiz was fantastic. Very knowledgable and kind. The park is beautiful. We did not see any animals or birds unfortunately, except the adorable park dogs and cats. Would recommend for the views alone!

Wonderful hiking - It was a truly wonderful experience. In the rainforest, I was able to see both large and small monkeys moving through the trees, and various birds and butterflies came down to the path, accompanying us for a while on our journey. My guide, Luiz, was very knowledgeable and fluent in English, which allowed me to enjoy the hike safely and comfortably. From the top of the hill, I had a panoramic view of the city of São Paulo.

Excellent Jarauga hike with Rafael - Rafael promptly arrived with his air conditioned car and drove safely to the park. Vistas were great and timing perfect. Our drive was 40-60 minutes each direction, so 5-6 hours is plenty of time for this morning to early afternoon hike. Cold drinks and snack were available. Assistance and good information was given. This Sao Paulo State Park’s terrain requires some stamina and is not recommended for young children or those with unsteady footing. Cold drinks and snacks were offered. I recommend bug repellant, grippy sneakers or hiking boots, and maybe sun protection.

This hike is absolutely... - This hike is absolutely beautiful and the views at the top are amazing. My tour guide, Rafa, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the area. The hike takes about 2 1/2 hours and 300 meters climb up. It isn’t overly technical but you should wear proper shoes. The coconut at the top is worth it!
