How to have breakfast at Horto Florestal?
Before planning your Café Colonial, it’s important to be aware of a few rules. As it is a wildlife preservation area, pets are not allowed in Alberto Löfgren State Park. This restriction follows State Decree No. 25,341, dated June 4, 1986, which applies to all state parks in São Paulo.
In addition, the Café Colonial is served only on weekends and holidays. You can access O Velhão via the park’s own parking lot, near Gate 4.
After breakfast, take the opportunity to explore the Horto’s 1.8 million square meters, which feature trails, lakes, and the Forest Museum. It’s the perfect combination of O Velhão’s traditional flavors and the serenity of one of São Paulo’s oldest parks!
