Cycling day trip from Ferraz de Vasconcelos to São Paulo

Set out from Ferraz de Vasconcelos, a lively city in the eastern part of Greater São Paulo known for its strong community roots and traditional markets. Your adventure takes you on a roughly 44 km ride, mostly along quiet roads — great news if you prefer some peace on two wheels! The journey has more ups than downs, winding you through nearly 670 meters of ascent, so get ready for a bit of a workout and stellar elevated views along the way.

Most of the ride is on paved and asphalt surfaces, keeping things comfortable, but expect the occasional patch of concrete or cobblestone to keep it interesting. As you cycle closer to São Paulo, Brazil’s bustling metropolis, you’ll feel the energy pick up. The city is famous for its art, amazing food, and vibrant nightlife — so there’s plenty to look forward to at the finish line. This route is great for intermediate riders looking to escape the busy city and soak up some suburban scenery before rolling triumphantly into the heart of São Paulo. Don’t forget to stop for photos along the way!
