Timeline: how the party goes

1. Sao Paulo

   Our guide will pick you up from your designated pick-up location and drive to the charming seaside town of Santos around 1:30 away. As São Paulo is 760 meters above sea level, to reach Santos, the highways pass through an impressive mountain range that stretches along the south and southeast coast of Brazil. Get sweeping views of the valleys through the set of hills. On the way to Santos, our knowledgeable guide gives you an insight into São Paulo's coastline and what we'll see on the Santos tour.

2. Santos

   Take a train to Monte Serrat, which is a peak with a great panoramic vantage point of the old casino at the top. Access to the hill is via a funicular system (called the Monte Serrat cable car) that connects the hill to the city center and leaves every half hour. From its viewpoint it is possible to have a complete view of the port, the urban part of Santos and surroundings, Bertioga Channel, Estuary and Barnabé and Santo Amaro Islands. At the top of the peak stands the Chapel of Nossa Senhora do Monte Serrat, from the 17th century, patron saint of the city and one of its historical attractions, dating from 1603.

3. Santos

   Then, we'll head to the Café Museum, which is one of the most emblematic places in Santos. As we walk through its different rooms, we will learn about the traditions, architecture, flavors and aromas of Brazilian coffee, as well as the history of the most important product for Brazilian socioeconomic growth.

4. Santos

   Here, you can decide if you want to enjoy free time having a tasty lunch in a local restaurant or relaxing on a sandy beach having appetizers and drinks beachfront. (Lunch not included)

   Admire the marvelous view of the shoreline of Santos and city of "Saint Vincent" (First permanent Portuguese settlement in Brazil), from Niemeyer’s monument on the top of Porchat Island hill.

6. Santos
