Getting there
Getting to Monte Verde
Short answer
The reference airport is Viracopos International Airport (VCP), in Campinas, about 150 km (93 mi) from Monte Verde. By car, it is 165 km (103 mi) from São Paulo, a 2h30 drive costing about R$ 99 in fuel and tolls.
Flying to Monte Verde
The nearest gateway from abroad is Viracopos International Airport (VCP), in Campinas, about 150 km from Monte Verde. The last 30 km are mountain road, climbing from Camanducaia to the village. As an alternative, Guarulhos International Airport (GRU), in Guarulhos, is about 195 km away. Routes and airlines change often; the safest approach is to check them when planning your trip.
From there the last stretch is by road: from São Paulo, 165 km (about 2.5 hours), on the Fernão Dias highway (BR-381) to Camanducaia, then 30 km uphill to the center; from Campinas, 156 km (about 2.3 hours); from Belo Horizonte, 484 km (about 6.1 hours); and from Campos do Jordão, 82 km (a little over 2 hours). You can also arrive by van or on a group excursion from São Paulo or Campinas.
Within the district there is no significant public transportation, and the trails and lookouts are spread across the mountains, so a car or a hired van makes getting around much easier.
