Popularly known as the “Land of the Sun”, due to its pleasant climate, and the “Land of the Grape and the Strawberry”, due to its strong agricultural culture, Jundiaí is a perfect destination (and close to the capital) for a family trip! The town is a 1-hour drive away and is ideal for day trips.
There, grape growing, which accounts for 30% of the state’s production, is even a cause for celebration! What’s more, the small inland town is considered one of the safest in São Paulo and has a high quality of life index. It’s definitely worth a visit.
What to do in Jundiaí?
The city offers a multitude of attractions to explore with the family! Among the main must-sees are the Parque da Cidade, perfect for connecting with nature; the Jardim Botânico de Jundiaí, where you’ll find various species of plants; and the Museu Solar do Barão de Jundiaí, a place that preserves the city’s history and traditional architecture.
The recently opened Espaço das Águas is also worth a visit. The tourist attraction has free admission, a waterfall and a small beach for visitors to enjoy the day!
