Campos do Jordão: São Paulo’s "Little Switzerland" 🇧🇷🏔️

Just a 3.5-hour drive from São Paulo, this charming alpine-style town sits at 1,628m altitude, earning its nickname as Brazil’s "Swiss Village". Think wooden chalets, crisp mountain air, and European vibes—no passport needed! 🍽️ Food Over Sights (Honest Take) While the tourist spots (like parks and cable cars) are meh, the dining scene shines: 🍖 Restaurante Bonanza Grill: Cozy log-cabin churrascaria with smoky, juicy meats. ⛰️ Vecchia Toscana: Hilltop Italian gem—order truffle pasta with valley views! 🍫 Chocolate Warning: The town’s famous hot chocolate is diabetes in a cup—stick to artisanal bars instead. Why Go? Weekend Escape: Perfect to ditch city stress (and "office energy"). Photo Ops: Flower-filled streets and Bavarian architecture 📸. June Winter Festival: Mulled wine + live music! 🎶 # São Paulo#Campos do Jordão#travel guide#trip diary#Brazil#food
