Cycling day trip from Guarulhos to São Paulo

Kick off your cycling adventure in Guarulhos, a bustling city known for housing the largest airport in Brazil - São Paulo/Guarulhos International! This ride to São Paulo covers just over 28 kilometers and offers a nice balance of urban excitement and a bit of nature. As you pedal along mostly quiet roads, you'll have time to take in your surroundings and maybe even stop for a coffee at a local café.

The route is predominantly on asphalt, so your tires will glide smoothly for most of the journey. You’ll also dip into some charming cobblestone lanes and concrete stretches that add a little texture to your ride. Don't worry about traffic too much; only a small portion of the trip involves busy roads.

You'll pedal uphill just slightly more than downhill, reaching a maximum elevation of 811 meters – so it’s a good ride to work on those climbing skills without wearing yourself out. Finally, roll into São Paulo, a city that's a blend of cultural dynamism and architectural wonders. Whether you're visiting the MASP or getting lost in the vibrant neighborhoods, there's surely a great deal to explore. Happy cycling!
