How to get there
When planning your arrival in Simão Pereira, distinguish the current town center from the historic sites of Paraibuna and Rocinha. The town does not occupy exactly the site of the founder's farm; check the address of the heritage site you intend to visit.
How many days
One suggestion is to set aside a day for Simão Pereira. If you want to see heritage sites outside the town center, pick one site and confirm your visit instead of trying to fit all locations into the same stop.
When to go
The heritage visit to Simão Pereira can be spread throughout the year, depending on access to the sites. For the Trilha do Cemitério da Rocinha da Negra, choose a day without stormy weather and clarify the route before setting out.
Do you need a car?
Simão Pereira's historic references are spread throughout the municipality. A combined transport arrangement makes it easier to travel between the town center and the site chosen in Paraibuna or Rocinha.
