Train Tour connecting Sao Paulo with it's metropolitan region

Departing from the Luz Train Station

The Expresso Turístico (Express Tour) project is a great choice of tourism in the metropolitan region of Sao Paulo.

Using the rails built during the second half of last century by SPR (Sao Paulo Railway Co.), the government of the city of Sao Paulo has created the Express Tour. This is a train service that will integrate a culture, architecture and environment through the metropolitan city region.

On the way, it's possible to see the British architecture on the buildings in the stations of: Luz, Jaraguá, Perus, Jundiaí, Ribeirão Pires, Rio Grande da Serra e Paranapiacaba.

CPTM has prepared a locomotive built on early 60's (ALCO RS-3) and two touristic wagons with a capacity of 175 seats (only 1 dedicated for disabled person). Each wagon has a person from the crew prepared to guide tourists. The tour trips work every weekend, departing at 8h30 from Luz Train Station, on the center of Sao Paulo.

How it works?
The tickets can be purchased up to 105 days in advance at the box office of the Luz Train Station (between 6am and 6h30pm) and there are 3 different trips to choose between:

• Luz - Jundiaí
• Luz - Mogi das Cruzes (with option to choose between the cultural tour and flowers tour)
• Luz - Paranapiacaba

To board, you must be present 30 minutes before departure, otherwise it will not be possible to pick up the ticket. The schedule can be checked clicking here.
