Brotas

Brotas is a tourism municipality in São Paulo state that spreads across hilly terrain and is crossed by two major rivers. The area offers many water sports opportunities and natural attractions for visitors.

The settlement began in 1839 with a chapel and became a municipality in 1859. Later development was driven by coffee farming and Italian immigrants who arrived in the region.

Water sports shape how people spend their time here and draw visitors from across the region. The rivers and natural surroundings form the center of daily recreation and local activity.

You can reach the location by car or bus from São Paulo, and there are accommodations available for different budgets. Bring weather-appropriate clothing since activities depend heavily on conditions.

This location is home to Areia que Canta, a natural spring where rubbing the sand produces distinctive sounds. Thrill-seekers can also experience a zip line that extends over the landscape.
