There are many natural touristic attractions available to tourists during the summer and during the winter the city turns into an escape from the busy days and nights of the big cities surrounding Tapiraí. Tourism in the city is still in a development phase, however, the city already counts with a tourist office and companies specialized in adventure sports like rafting and canoeing.

The municipality contains part of the Serra do Mar Environmental Protection Area, created in 1984.
