How many days
Half a day is enough for the old Vila de São Miguel. Combine it with São José or with the drive to Governador Celso Ramos.
When to go
Year-round. Avoid Mondays, when the museum is closed. The Festa de São Miguel, honoring the patron saint of the old village, is in September.
Do you need a car?
It helps. Vila de São Miguel is right off the BR-101, outside the town center. Buses run along the highway, but a car makes it easier to stop and continue your trip.
