Cycling day trip from Taboão da Serra to São Paulo

Get ready for a solid city ride: starting in Taboão da Serra, a bustling suburb on the southwest edge of São Paulo, you’ll roll right into the heart of Brazil’s biggest city. Covering almost 40 km, this ride is a great mix of city explorations and some nice green pockets along the way.

The route keeps things interesting, with about 577 meters of climbing and a bit more descending, so you’ll definitely get some effort in—those São Paulo hills are legit! Almost half the ride follows quieter roads and dedicated cycleways, which is a major plus for comfort and safety, especially as you approach busier São Paulo boroughs.

Taboão is known for its vibrant markets and community vibe, while São Paulo, your destination, hardly needs an intro—expect skyscrapers, endless cultural options, and the legendary Paulista Avenue waiting at the finish. Most surfaces are smooth (asphalt and concrete), with only short segments on cobbles or pedestrian paths, so your road bike’s in its element.

Whether you’re riding for fitness or just want a unique perspective on these two urban areas, this route is classic Paulistano cycling—urban, energetic, and always a little challenging!
