Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Arujá do Itaquaquecetuba

Looking for a rewarding pedal between two neighboring cities in São Paulo? This ride takes you from Arujá, a city nicknamed the "Cidade Natureza" for its lush green spaces, down south to Itaquaquecetuba—affectionately called “Itaquá” by locals.

The distance is just over 20 km—a practical spin for a half-day outing or a hearty commute. Most of your ride will be on quiet roads (over 70%), and the pavement is predominantly good asphalt. Expect some notable ups and downs, with almost 400 meters of climbing and a similar amount of descent, making for a nicely dynamic route.

Arujá charms with its tranquil, almost countryside vibe despite being close to the São Paulo metro area, while Itaquaquecetuba has deep historical roots dating from the 16th century and a lively urban edge today.

Be mindful: a small portion of the route has surfaces that haven’t been specified, so keep an eye out for unexpected patches. With little time spent on busy roads, it’s a chill but engaging route for beginners looking for a challenge, or experienced riders wanting something scenic without major traffic stress.
