The experience
You arrive in Campos do Jordão with a free afternoon or morning and want to see what makes this mountain city different without arranging transport yourself. The tour starts at the Silver Shower, a set of artificial cascades formed by the Ribeirão das Perdizes dam and one of the oldest tourist spots in the city, with shops nearby. From there the route climbs to Pico Itapeva Park, sitting at more than 2,030 meters altitude, where the main draw is the lavender field: thousands of French lavender seedlings that fill the landscape with color and scent. A panoramic deck overlooks up to 15 cities across the Vale do Paraíba valley on clear days. The park also holds a medieval-style castle housing a cafeteria where you can order coffee or hot chocolate with the views spread out below.
The second half of the tour shifts to the city itself. You drive through Campos do Jordão's most exclusive neighborhood to see the European-style architecture and the homes of celebrities, then finish at the city's most famous factory for a tasting: chocolates, cheeses, liquors, cachaças, patés and peppers all included. The guide speaks Portuguese and the vehicle is air-conditioned throughout, so the pace stays comfortable even as the elevation climbs.
