The town is located 167km from São Paulo, in the mountains of “Serra da Mantiqueira”. The region is mountainous, green and forested by pinherios and eucalyptus trees. The town has influences from Switzerland, with its typical architecture, and several restaurants with Swiss food like fondue, and typical food from the state of Minas Gerais (MG) as well. There are several charming places for accommodation, and it is ideal for a romantic couple and families with small children to stay one weekend, drink some wine, eat good, do some trekking, horse riding and other sports, shopping, and lit the fireplace in the chalet when it’s time to go to bed.

The best way to go to Monte Verde is by car, and also during your stay you may need a car to go around. Another option is by bus. The bus goes from Tietê bus station in Sao Paulo in the direction of Camanducaia (2,30hrs) and then to Monte Verde (1,20hrs).

You can visit Monte Verde the whole year, but June to August, is considered to be high season and the city has a bigger movement of tourists. The high season is caused by the popularity to travel to the mountains during wintertime (June, July & August) this because of the temperature falls and it is cool night time (it can reach a temperature of -10°C.), which is exotic and attractive among people in São Paulo (Brazil).The high season has its peek in July when the schools are closed for winter brake, and families with children/teenagers travel.
