Have you ever been to Campos do Jordão city (Brazil)?

The best season for visit Campos do Jordão is the Winter, but if you are going in the Summer, that's ok, it will be a nice trip.

Campos do Jordão is a romantic city, although it has a lot of adventure activities. The city is in São Paulo state, about 106 miles from central city.

If you like a fondue and hot chocolate you will love Campos do Jordão.

This city is not cheap, so I recommend just one weekend, it's enough to get to know it. 

Well, I will tell you about the delicious food in Campos do Jordão:

Baden Baden Restaurant: do you like gourmet beer? This is the place! The Baden Baden is a wheat beer, made in Brazil, and I, particularly, really like it. Regarding the food, I recommend two dishes: “Eisbein” (knee pork) and “Linguiça Recheada com Queijo” (Sausage with Cheese). My suggestion, don't go to the Baden Baden at the lunchtime, because it's crowded. I'd rather go about 3pm or 4pm.

Rostie Restaurant: Have you ever eaten rostie potato? I will try describe it for you: think in a grate potato, make one ball with this and fill it with cheese, sausage, onion, bacon, etc (they have many options to fill it). Damn it, It's so good! Well….I like potato anyway :)

Só Queijo Restaurant – a charming restaurant, they won the premium “Excellence Certificate” by TripAdvisor. In this place you can find several fondue and wines. This location is crowded as well, then go early if you want eat lunch there. Campos do Jordão has a lot of places with fondue and wines menu, then if you prefer one place more empty, just walk around the city (this city is small) and you will find another place crowdless.

Montanhês – would you like a hot chocolate? Stop at the Montanhes! It's not that expensive and the chocolate are delicious. If you don't like chocolate very much, please give a try, I think you'll like it! They have a store and you can buy chocolates as a gift.

Pizza ao Quadrado Restaurant – the last time that I went to Campos do Jordão, I went to this place. It's cheap and I think you should give a shot. This is not the best pizza ever, but it's worth it.

These places above are the more known in Campos do Jordão, but you can explore the city centre, because there are too many options, several bars and restaurants to visit.

Teleférico (chair lift): with the teleférico, you can reach the top of the Morro do Elefante. It's beautiful and the principal attraction in the city.

Bicycle, tricycle, quadbike rentals - When you arrive in the city, you can look for these tours, or make a booking on the Passeios da Natureza, they are the finest people and has a good service and the best price. If you rent a quadbike, you can make turns to your wife, son, etc, because the tour is long and both will drive enough. I drove quadbike twice, one day was sunny and another one was rainny, and both were amazing!

Ride a horse/ poney – next to Teleférico (chair lift), you can find the horses to rent. I don't remember the company's name, but it's easy to find.

What about the hotels? I've never slept in Campos do Jordão, but you can find hotels on the TripAdvisor. They have a list of the best hotels.

Campos do Jordão is nice on the Summer or Winter, then you can enjoy all the year. The city is between mountains, then in the day is warm and the night is chilly. Tip: in the Summer the city is less crowded than Winter. Another nice time to visit it on Christmas (December), the city is beautiful with lights hanging on trees and decorations in the houses.
