We had a fantastic day. We hiked to the top of the mountain in Parque Estadual Jaraguá where you can experience an amazing view of the giant city of Sao Paulo. The hike is quite tough on the knees, so if you need a walking pole, bring it. Luiz was the most friendly and helpful guide. His English is top notch, and he was an entertaining story-teller and full of facts and information. We had specific goals in mind. and were hoping to see a certain tree. Luiz went out of his way to customize the day for our needs, and joined in the 'hunt' for a special tree with us. I can't recommend them highly enough. Brilliant!
