– 330 km. Itatinga is a village built in the beginning of the XX century around the hydro-electrical power of the same name, which functions until nowadays. The ride to the village is an attraction by itself, as it includes a ferry boat crossing of the Itapanhaú river and a 7-km ride on an old tram. After seeing the historical houses, it is possible to take one of the trekking routes and enjoy the nature of Serra do Mar. Visiting is only possible through tourism agencies like Seivatur.
Itatinga is a municipality in the state of São Paulo in Brazil. The population is 20,921 in an area of 980 km2. The elevation is 845 m. Its name comes from the Tupi language and means "white stone".
