How to get there
The Rodovia Presidente Dutra is an access route to Guaratinguetá. For the museums and the cathedral, plan your arrival via the city center; Gomeral and the Colônia do Piagui require their own routes, defined from the outing's starting address.
How many days
Two days allow you to see Guaratinguetá's center and reserve another period for Gomeral or Piagui. Three days give you more leeway to include both without rushing the museums.
When to go
Choose the date in Guaratinguetá according to your interest: heritage in the center, Gomeral's landscape or events at the Colônia do Piagui. Check the cultural program and the forecast for the mountain area before combining these experiences.
Do you need a car?
To stay in Guaratinguetá's center, plan urban routes from your accommodation. A vehicle makes visiting Gomeral and Piagui easier, as they should not be treated as an extension of a walk through the center.
