the train ride itself is the draw, paranapiacaba is a tiny english-built village and the bar does petiscos not full meals so eat before u go

Second this, but book the train back before dark, last one's early.

Worth adding that the train only runs on weekends and holidays, so a March weekday trip won't work at all.

Fair warning tho, march is rainy season up there so the trail bits around the village get muddy, bring decent shoes.

also the fog rolls in fast up there so pack a light rain jacket even if centro looks clear

Agree, and the funicular to the upper village is the bit most people miss.

cover charge is the thing nobody warns u about, the couvert artistico. if there's live music they add like 15 to 30 reais per person to the bill, sometimes printed tiny at the bottom of the menu. tourists get surprised by that more than by any price difference. ask if couvert is included before u sit down, that's the real local move
