🇧🇷 Campos do Jordão: Brazil’s "Little Switzerland" is REAL! 🏔️✨

📍 Just 1.5 hours from São Paulo 🌲 WHY IT’S MAGIC Alpine charm without the flight to Europe! Think: wooden chalets, flower-filled balconies, and cobblestone streets. Slow living at its finest – locals sip cafézinho while you hunt for the perfect hydrangea photo spot. 🌸 "Even the air feels richer here!" (1,600m altitude perk) 🛏️ STAY SMART ⚠️ Hotel warning: Some use very flattering filters – read recent reviews! 🏡 Our pick: Pousada Cheshire (fairytale cottage vibes + fireplace) 🍽️ FOODIE FINDS Universal menu: Fondue, trout, and picanha (because Brazil). Hidden gem: Bardot Bistrô – their brigadeiro cheesecake is illegaly good. 🍫 📸 PHOTO OPS ✔ Rua Dr. Januário Miráglia (pastel houses + flower walls) ✔ Teleférico (cable car with mountain views) – skip if scared of heights! ✔ Random roadside hydrangeas (nature’s perfect backdrop) 🚗 ROAD TRIP TIPS Leave early to avoid fog on Serra da Mantiqueira roads. Stop at: Pico do Itapeva lookout (clouds permitting ☁️) Verdict: "Like a Hallmark movie set... if Hallmark had caipirinhas and better weather!" 🍹 #NotSwitzerlandButClose #BrazilianAlps #SlowTravel #CamposDoJordao #SãoPauloWeekend #NoPassportNeeded
