Welcome to the Portal da Mata Atlântica (Atlantic Forest Portal), a refuge of surprises and wonders that invites you on an incredible journey of preservation and discovery, entering an extraordinary ecosystem of enchanting diversity and beauty.

Located in a World Natural Heritage region, sustainable development here is the key to generating jobs and income, encompassing diverse tourism experiences such as ecological, rural, birdwatching and wildlife photography, regenerative, wellness, adventure, nature, and religious tourism. There is something special for every visitor. This Portal is important not only for the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo but for the entire world. In addition to providing water and food, it acts as a climate regulator and ensures water security for the largest urban center in the Southern Hemisphere, thanks to its preserved nature.

Accompanied by home-cooked gastronomy that celebrates ancient traditions and vegetarian cuisine that embraces current trends of bioregionalism and sustainability, Juquitiba and São Lourenço da Serra are known for their springs, creeks, lakes, waterfalls, and crystal-clear rivers—a protected watershed area that supplies São Paulo, driving local businesses and beyond. The towns offer a journey to the past, with retreats, temples, and ranches that harken back to the customs and habits of yesteryear.
