Visit Embu das Artes, founded in the 17th century as a Jesuit settlement. For more than 3 centuries it remained virtually unknown and in the 20th century it became recognised as an artistic centre and started attracting visitors. The area still preserves cobblestone streets, artisanal arts and crafts, furniture shops, colonial architecture, and excellent cuisine.

Your tour of the historic centre of Embu das Artes includes a chance to see the Museum of Sacred Art in the Jesuit priests' building, the oldest building in the city. Visit the best artisanal shops offering a large variety of souvenirs, and stop at the best-stocked cachaça (Brazilian rum) shop in the city.

This tour is even more interesting on the weekends when Embu das Artes hosts its weekly arts and crafts market, one of the most famous markets in the region. The market has existed for more than 30 years and attracts people from all around the Brazil. Enjoy return transport to and from your São Paulo hotel.
