Event location
The event will occur at the Maresias Beach Hotel, located on Dr. Francisco Loup Avenue, 110 in the Maresias district, municipality of São Sebastião, state of São Paulo (SP). It’s a coastal city with a population of roughly 81 000 inhabitants, according to the 2022 Census. The closest airport is Guarulhos (GRU), in the capital city São Paulo.
By car: from GRU, the shortest route is via the Ayrton Senna Highway/SP-070, passing through Mogi das Cruzes city and later following the Mogi-Bertioga Highway/SP-098 towards the coast, leading into the Governador Mário Covas Highway/SP-055. It’s a safe path with plenty of curves and beautiful landscapes, driving by huge leaps of Atlantic Forest and later following along the shoreline. It’s a 2h40min to 3h drive, spanning roughly 150km (93 miles).
An alternative route is through the Carvalho Pinto Highway, which continues SP-070 instead of turning onto SP-098. From Carvalho Pinto, the path follows the Tamoios Highway/SP-099 to Caraguatatuba city and then returns towards São Sebastião by SP-055. Despite being a longer trip, this path consists of wider highways which also cross the Atlantic Forest.
By shuttle: from GRU airport, you can go by our shuttle, to be booked with the 18th WCPP Organization. (BEST WAY). Shuttles will be available many times on Saturday, May 30th, and Sunday, May 31st, and to return on June 6th and 7th. If you lose the shuttle, you will need to go to Tiete Bus Station to take the subway to Jabaquara station, and then take a bus, which will take approximately 5 hours. Better to book our Shuttle – more comfortable and safer than anything.
Warning: we do not recommend members to go to the event’s location leaving from Rio de Janeiro. It’s a much longer trip (over 7 hours on average), with possibly riskier paths and outside the scope of the 18th WCPP Organization’s assistance.
