A 464 km loop from Mogi das Cruzes
Open this ride in the planner →
Rainforest descent, ocean heat and a coastal reward. This road trip is shaped as a ride, not as a shortcut: leave the start cleanly, use the first checkpoint for fuel and weather discipline, then let the middle 186 km be the part you remember. The best part sits around Serra do Mar road, Ubatuba coast, Paraty old town, while Mogi das Cruzes fuel and the food stop keep the day practical instead of turning it into a fuel hunt. Check the selected map before departure: scenic sections, transfer sections, speed/control reminders, risk points and the GPX checkpoint order are deliberately visible so the route is understandable before the engine starts. Ride it early if the area is popular, keep the photo stops legal, and shorten the route if weather, daylight or energy stops agreeing with the plan.

Back at Mogi. That is the ride.
Up the Mantiqueira to the highest town in Brazil: araucaria pine, cold nights and a road that climbs sixteen hundred metres.
The ridge road between São Paulo and Minas: coffee on the slopes, cloud in the mornings and very little traffic once you are up.
