With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Itatiaia, 40 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Pequena Finlandia, Serrinha do Alambari and Parque Nacional do Itatiaia. Situated 45 miles away, Campos do Jordao is another place to aim for. If you stop by, don’t miss Elephant Hill Viewpoint, Baden Baden Brewery and Ducha de Prata.
