Águas de São Pedro
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Águas de São Pedro; walk the centre, soak in the SPA, then head back to Campinas or São Paulo.
Águas de São Pedro is a tiny mineral‑spring resort town (population under 2,000) with a compact historic centre, a public thermal spa and a few green parks. All main sights sit within a 10‑minute walk, so one day is enough unless you plan to use the hotel’s golf or spa facilities.

- South America ↗Overnight buses are the norm in Argentina, Chile and Peru, but pick top-tier companies and keep valuables on your body; on-board thefts from overhead racks are the common loss.
