Are you one of those who loves to hit the road and enjoy the beauty that the interior of São Paulo has to offer? If so, we have the perfect destination for you. It may be a little far from the capital, but it’s worth every moment of the trip! There, you’ll find freshwater beaches, nautical activities and incredible landscapes. We’re talking about Rosana, located in the far west of São Paulo.
To get there, you have to travel 746 kilometers, about 9 hours from the capital. Even so, the destination is a must for those who enjoy ecotourism and outdoor activities. Of course, there are closer options, such as Brotas, but if your idea is to discover a new place, don’t miss Rosana.
Discover the attractions of the city furthest from the capital
Bathed by the Paraná and Paranapanema rivers, Rosana is known as the “Capital of Energy” because of its hydroelectric plants. The town’s main attraction is the Balneário Municipal, where visitors can relax on the sandy beach, bathe in the fresh waters, take boat trips or practice water activities such as kayaking and stand up paddle. All this amid breathtaking scenery.
Another must-see is Jurerê Island, also known as the beach. Adventurers, on the other hand, can be enchanted by the Trilha das Três Rampas (Three Ramps Trail), which is self-guided, takes about 1.5 hours and crosses the Atlantic forest, revealing a breathtaking view of the Paraná River.
Visit Rosana!
This small inland town, located in Pontal do Paranapanema, is a unique destination. If you want to get away from the traditional ecotourism route, it’s worth planning a trip there.
The tourist infrastructure is charming: there are several options for lodges, such as Rancho Villa and Rancho Castro. Rosana is the ideal destination for those looking to disconnect from their routine and enjoy days of relaxation in the midst of nature.
