How to get there
On arriving in Paraíba do Sul, separate the downtown visit from the trip to Parque Salutaris. The old station, Jardim Velho and Palacete Ribeiro de Sá help organize the urban portion; check access to the park before heading to another area of the municipality.
How many days
Two days give you time to explore the center of Paraíba do Sul and devote another period to Parque Salutaris. A short visit can focus on Jardim Velho and the old station.
When to go
Paraíba do Sul allows you to combine heritage and outdoor spaces on fair-weather days. In rainy periods, check the opening of the cultural center and the visiting conditions at Parque Salutaris before deciding the order of your outings.

A car is useful to link the center of Paraíba do Sul with Salutaris. In the urban area, choose a base that makes it easy to get between the garden, the station and the palacete, without assuming all points are in the same area.
