Jaguariúna Steam Train Offers Historic Getaway

Jaguariúna’s steam train tour delivers a historical travel experience less than two hours from São Paulo, with lodging options at Blue Tree Towers.

Less than two hours by car from São Paulo, Jaguariúna invites travelers to enjoy a true journey through time. The traditional steam train ride offers a charming and entertaining experience in the countryside and stands out as a perfect choice for the November 20 holiday.

At the Jaguariúna Cultural Center, located in a restored historic station, visitors board wagons from various periods, including one built in England in 1926. Once on board, passengers travel toward old stations such as Carlos Gomes, Tanquinho or Anhumas, depending on the selected route.

Along the way, travelers can admire remarkable locations like the Maria-Fumaça Viaduct, the Jaguary River and the railway collection in Carlos Gomes. The route also includes the Atibaia River bridge, originally part of the 1873 railway.

With a calm pace, the journey encourages visitors to disconnect from daily routines and explore the region’s past, which played an essential role in São Paulo’s development during the coffee cycle. By the end of the nineteenth century, the railway transported crops to the Port of Santos. Today, the Brazilian Railway Preservation Association keeps this heritage alive.

Departures occur from the Jaguariúna station on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. Tickets start at R$ 40 and can be purchased on the official website.
