Christmas in the Mountains
Christmas and Réveillon in Campos do Jordão

By , About.com Guide

Campos do Jordão is decked out for the holidays and hosts a wide range of attractions during Natal na Montanha, or Christmas in the Mountains, from late December to Epiphany (January 6).

Praça São Benedito, a square in Vila Capivari, is the setting for a lot of the action in Natal na Montanha, including the New Year's fireworks. More than 200,000 people pack the square and its surroundings to ring in the New Year.

Leave it to Campos do Jordão to come up with a Christmas extravaganza and successfully compete with the Southeast's seaside towns as a New Year's Eve destination.
