Cycling day trip from Diadema to São Paulo

This ride takes you from Diadema, a lively city just south of São Paulo, all the way into the heart of Brazil’s biggest metropolis. Starting in Diadema, which is known for its vibrant markets and close-knit neighborhoods, you’ll cruise mostly on paved roads, with a good mix of cycleways (over half the route) and quiet roads.

The route covers around 47 km with just under 500 meters of climbing, so expect a few hills but nothing too intense—just enough to keep things interesting! Most of the journey is on smooth asphalt or concrete, making it comfortable for all types of bikes. There are also some stretches where the road quality varies, so be ready for a little bit of everything.

You’ll finish up in central São Paulo, a city famous for its world-class dining, diverse cultural hotspots, and iconic skyline. It’s a fun urban adventure, and with most of the ride away from busy traffic, you can really enjoy the transition from suburb to city. Don’t forget to stop for some coffee once you arrive in São Paulo—you’ve earned it!
