Santos & São Vicente Day Trip
Description
Embark on a captivating day trip from São Paulo to Santos, where you'll explore the renowned port city of Santos along with the historic town of São Vicente, the first settlement established in Brazil. This is an experience not to be overlooked!
Details of the Day Tour
Our adventure commences at the designated meeting point you choose during your reservation, after which we will make our way towards the beautiful coastline of São Paulo.
Approximately 2 hours later, we will arrive at our first destination: the vibrant city of Santos. Here, we'll visit the magnificent Coffee Exchange Palace, which houses the Coffee Museum. This venue reveals the significant impact that "black gold" has had on Brazil's economy, culture, and historical landscape.
Following this, we'll embark on a guided stroll through the charming old town of Santos, leading us to the Pelé Museum, located within the beautifully restored Casarões do Valongo. You'll delve into the life, accomplishments, and memorabilia dedicated to the legendary football icon.
Next, we will proceed to Gonzaga Beach, the primary beach in Santos, where you'll enjoy 1 hour and 15 minutes of leisure time to explore independently. Take a leisurely walk along the world's longest beachfront garden, unwind on the soft white sand, and soak in the scenic coastal views.
Continuing on, we’ll make a brief stop at the Ilha Porchat viewpoint in São Vicente, a prime location for capturing stunning photographs of the coastline. After taking your memorable snapshots, we'll indulge in a delightful buffet lunch at the renowned Restaurante Ti Maria, situated right by the water's edge.
Reenergized from our meal, we will conclude the day with a ride on the historic funicular railway that ascends to Monte Serrat. At the summit, you'll have 1 hour of free time to relish breathtaking views overlooking the port, the canals, and the cityscape of Santos.
In the end, we will return to our initial meeting point, where we will part ways after a fulfilling 10-hour day of exploration.
