Cycling day trip from Guarulhos to São Paulo

Ready for a ride from Guarulhos to the heart of São Paulo? This 28 km route is perfect for a city adventure, rolling mostly on smooth asphalt and quiet roads. You’ll enjoy a nice mix of scenery—starting in Guarulhos, known as the home of Brazil’s busiest international airport, then weaving through urban neighborhoods before reaching São Paulo, the sprawling cultural capital of South America.

The route’s pretty friendly for cyclists, with dedicated cycleways for part of the journey and very little time spent on busy roads. You’ll tackle a few hills (with about 450 meters of ascent and descent), so you’ll want to be ready for a bit of a workout, but nothing too tough if you’re used to urban riding.

Along the way, keep an eye out for street art and local markets as you transition from Guarulhos’ quieter vibes to São Paulo’s lively rhythm. Once you reach São Paulo, the possibilities are endless—cafés, parks, and museums await. So pump up your tires, grab your helmet, and enjoy this ride through two vibrant cities!
