There are two options for airports:

1. SJK airport (São José dos Campos City). Smaller town, near São Paulo City. The flights arriving at SJK usually stop in Rio de Janeiro city airports. Driving takes 3 hours without traffic → Route from SJK airport to Fazenda Vintém

2. GRU - Guarulhos International Airport (São Paulo City). Largest Brazilian city. Driving takes 3 and a half hours without traffic → Route from GRU Airport to Fazenda Vintém.

Rental car

You can rent a car at the airport. Some rental car companies: Localiza, Movida or Hertz.

Also, Rentcars is a website that lists all available car companies in the world. I’ve used it before and it is reliable. You can read about it here and book it here.

Bus services

The brazilian bus network is extensive, affordable and easy. You can read about general information here. There are many other websites too, just google it! I (Teresa) have always used the bus service getting around.

If you decide on riding the bus (to be honest is not a bad option at all - just be very aware of your surroudings and read the link!), you would take the route:

1. GRU airport to Tietê Bus Station in São Paulo City - you can uber, taxi or also get a bus from the airport to the bus station, many people do this;

2. Tietê Bus Station to Pouso Alegre (MG state);

3. Pouso Alegre to Santa Rita do Sapucaí (they are 40min from each other and there are buses pretty much every hour).

Hiring private driving services

I got a quote from this company, but there are many others to get a quote from.

A 3 passenger car with a bilingual private driver would be around $450 US Dollars (one way, from GRU - Farm). A van, fitting up to 15-18 people would be around $650 US Dollars (one way).
