Cycling day trip from São Paulo to Taboão da Serra

Get ready for a fun city-to-city ride! Starting in the heart of São Paulo—a vibrant metropolis buzzing with life, street art, and some of Brazil’s very best coffee—you’ll head out southwest towards Taboão da Serra, a rapidly growing city known for its parks and authentic local food.

The ride is about 40 km, so plan for a good few hours in the saddle. The route mostly sticks to quiet roads and comfortable cycleways, so you’ll avoid most of the hectic city traffic. It’s mostly paved—expect a mix of smooth asphalt and a bit of concrete, making it a comfy spin for road bikes or hybrids.

You’ll climb just under 600 meters along the way, with São Paulo’s skyline slowly giving way to greener, more suburban landscapes as you approach Taboão da Serra. When you arrive, the city’s eclectic charm and local bakeries make an ideal spot to refuel. Whether you’re out for training or just on an urban adventure, this ride gives you a real taste of São Paulo’s ever-changing scene.
