Guarujá – SP Destination Costa da Mata Atlântica
How to get there
-
Aeroporto de São Paulo/Congonhas - Deputado Freitas Nobre (CGH) São Paulo
-
Rodoviária Municipal de Guarujá
Approximate road distances. Check flights and bus schedules before you travel.
Plan your arrival via the road connection with the Baixada Santista or via the crossing from Santos, depending on your origin. The city has a municipal bus station. To arrive by plane, arrange the overland leg from an airport in São Paulo.
How many days
We suggest two to three days to combine the main outings with rest. In one day, choose a few visits and organize transfers by area. With two days, split programs into separate periods and check access for your date.
When to go
Choose the season according to your interest in the beach or urban outings. Weekdays outside holidays help avoid busier periods. Assess wind, rain and sea conditions before swimming; keep alternatives for the day.
Do you need a car?
A car makes it easier to visit places away from the central area. For a concentrated itinerary, compare local transport and hired services. Choose accommodation according to priority outings and arrange the return before setting out, especially for rural areas or beaches.
