Jesuit Sacred Art Museum (Museu de Arte Sacra dos Jesuitas) Tours

Explore Embu das Artes, an artist enclave in a charming town outside of São Paulo, during a private 4-hour tour. Follow your local arts guide through the quaint streets lined with galleries and workshops selling works of art and local handicrafts. Stop at Nossa Senhora do Rosário (Our Lady of the Rosary), a well-preserved 17th-century cathedral and the Museu de Arte Sacra (Museum of Sacred Art). Eat lunch at one of the local restaurants (own expense) before returning to São Paulo in your private tour vehicle.

Start your experience with a pick-up from your São Paulo hotel. Hop inside your private, air-conditioned vehicle with your guide and begin your tour. Embu's weekend arts-and-craft fair is the biggest draw in the São Paulo region for artisanal wares! About Embu das Artes: Founded in 1554, Embu, or Embu das Artes, is a tiny Portuguese colonial town of whitewashed houses, old churches, wood-carvers’ studios, and antiques shops. It has a downtown handicrafts fair every weekend. On Sunday the streets sometimes get so crowded you can barely walk, so it's worth arriving early. Embu also has many stores that sell handicrafts and wooden furniture; most of these are close to where the street fair takes place Distance from São Paulo: 18 miles (+/- 40min by car)
