Where to stay in Jaraguá
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Two stations, almost no hotels. Jaraguá sits well out from the core of São Paulo, and the practical case for a bed in it is the rail link, since Jaraguá train station and Perus train station both serve the district and carry commuters in towards the city. Praça José Alves Pereira anchors the local street grid.
Most visitors sleep nearer the middle of São Paulo and treat this district as a waypoint, which suits anyone who would trade nightlife for a quiet street and a short walk to the platform.

About Jaraguá
What are the main landmarks in Jaraguá?
Four entries make the list. Jaraguá train station and Perus train station both appear on it, which says something about a district whose best-recorded structures are the places where trains stop rather than museums or churches. Praça José Alves Pereira is the third.
The fourth is listed simply as Padre José Kentenich, and together the four give Jaraguá a short and functional roll that a visitor can walk in a single morning without hurrying.
What is the history of Jaraguá?
Its charter year went unrecorded. Jaraguá enters the register as a district of São Paulo with no founding date attached, the usual position for a settlement drawn into a growing Brazilian city rather than one chartered on its own account. The railway supplies what dates there are.
Jaraguá train station and Perus train station belong to that layer of the past, and the entry for Padre José Kentenich adds a devotional thread to a record otherwise made of track, platform and the square at Praça José Alves Pereira.
Where is Jaraguá?
