    Elected by the Travel and Tourism Magazine among the 8 most beautiful waterfalls in Brazil. In Ecoparque Cassorova nature talks. Speech by Cassorova waterfall, one of the "postcards" of Brotas, imposing, with 60 meters high and pool bath. Speech by Waterfall of Quatis, hidden after a track in the middle of preserved forest. Speaks of the landscape greatness Valley Cassorova, and the abundance of water from all sides. Talk harmoniously with our structure, so that our visitors can hear it but with the comfort they deserve. We have complete leisure infrastructure with natural water pools, mini waterfall, gazebo, beautiful trails that give access to the two waterfalls, restaurant and snack bar.

  5. 4.0 Parque Geológico do Varvito (467 reviews)
    - One of a kind
    Nature & Wildlife Areas
    Parque Geológico do Varvito image
    This park is one of the geological treasures of the world. It is a unique experience of traveling to the past of our planet and witness year by year the climate at that moment. 280 millions years ago... As strange as it can be, very few local people know about the importance of this magnificent place. Google Parque do Varvito and ask for a translation. Most of the information are in Portuguese. If you are near this region don't miss this one of a kind spot. It is a 30 minutes walk or more if you like to appreciate all corners. You may get disappointed with the lack of infrastructure and services to guests. Don't let it spoil your experience. If you are lucky you will find scientists in a exploratory expedition or schools with a guide. Get close, learn more! See more..

We had a very experienced guide leading us throughout the place and we are allowed to feed the animals. The animals are very well treated and include gooses, ducks, small horses, rabbits, pigs, goats, etc. There is a small bar and free rides back and forth the hotel. See more..
  8. 4.5 Fazenda Ipanema (191 reviews)
    - If you like hiking, highly recommended.
    Sunday: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Historic Sites • Nature & Wildlife Areas
    Fazenda Ipanema image
    Looks like I’m the first to write about this place in English. It’s a historic site with one of the first industrial establishments in Brazil. Impressive building and machinery! But that’s not the jewel. The park has guided hikes to the top (you’re only allowed to hike with an official guide, so check if you come during weekdays). It’s about 8km, up 600m. On the hike up, you will reach the bottom of a cliff, then go up with some roped path. Then you’ll reach a rock platform with an iron cross with a panoramic view. Further up, you’ll reach the top with a monument. Very impressive. On the way back, we’re welcomed by hundreds of butterflies! All sorts of colours, mostly orange with some bright blue ones. Absolutely amazing. There’s a small cafeteria at the base with bathroom facilities. Free drinking water fountain available there. The guide costs R$10 each and I think they charge R$9 for the car park (perhaps per person). I think there are infrequent public transportation from Sorocaba, but I’m not sure. It’s an excellent way to spend a weekend morning here! See more..

    Parque Caminhos do Mar image
    In addition to the ecotourism, the trail is also a historical-cultural program. In its course, several monuments and buildings, some dating from 1922, reconstitute the importance of this path in the history of the interconnection between the coast and the area of São Paulo. During the 9 km trail you will visit the Casa de Visitas, Pouso Paranpiacaba, Belvedere Circular, Calcada de Lorena and Rancho da Maioridade. Also you will pass through an Atlantic Forest and you will admire the biodiversity of flora and fauna with a lot of small waterflows and rivers. The trail had medium difficulty and are needed 4 to 5 hours to be crossed. In order to enjoy your visit choose a good travel office which can organize this visit carefully.

    Fizemos a trilha ontem 18/09/21 em casal com Guia da Baú ecoturismo e mais um amigo que conhecemos na hora da saída, gostamos muito, mas para nossa idade (50 anos) foi bem cansativo.
    O lugar não é tão fácil, e quem não tiver um mínimo de condicionamento físico, vai sofrer muito. Se tiver medo de altura não vá. Se for aventureiro, vai adorar.
    Gostamos muito, mas ficamos bem cansados, a descida força bem o joelho, precisa tomar cuidado.

    I went to Serra do Japi with friends to trek in Mirante's trail on a Sunday morning and it was great. The visit should be booked and followed by an authorized guide and it is much more an environmental preservation class than an ecotourism trekking. The guide Wellington de Oliveira Dorta was very nice, helpful and a real teacher of geography, biology and ecology. Serra do Japi is a preserved treasure right next to the city. I highly recommend.

Impressive building and machinery! But that’s not the jewel. The park has guided hikes to the top (you’re only allowed to hike with an official guide, so check if you come during weekdays).

Absolutely amazing. There’s a small cafeteria at the base with bathroom facilities. Free drinking water fountain available there.

    - Cachoeira da Fumaça
    Nature & Wildlife Areas
    Parque Estadual Do Jurupara image
    Localizada dentro do Parque Estadual do Jurupará, uma das maiores áreas protegidas de Mata Atlântica do país, localizado entre os municípios de Ibiúna e Piedade, a 120 quilômetros da capital paulista.

    O parque é desprovido de planejamento para a visitação, diferente da maioria dos parques que abrem as portas para o turista, no Jurupará só é permitida a entrada com autorização, isso ficamos sabendo somente ao retornar, pois não havia placas e muito menos fiscalização.

    Uma trilha estreita e escorregadia com cerca de 600 metros mata a dentro.
