WHAT TO EXPECT?
Step into one of São Paulo’s most vibrant and authentic environments on the Ceagesp Market Photo Tour. In this small-group experience, we explore a massive open-air market filled with color, movement, and everyday life — the perfect setting for dynamic, candid photography.
Guided by a local photographer, you'll navigate through hangars and stalls overflowing with fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, and flowers. More than just a market, Ceagesp is a living portrait of São Paulo’s rhythms — full of workers, vendors, and shoppers going about their routines.
Between one shot and the next, we’ll stop for a classic pastel with caldo de cana (sugarcane juice) — a beloved combo that’s as much a part of the market’s charm as its visual energy.
Whether you're drawn to vibrant colors, street scenes, or human stories, this tour offers a raw and inspiring look at local life through your lens.

“Our tour with Victor was fantastic. We got to see so many different sights that we never would have seen on our own. Victor’s photography knowledge and his overall knowledge of São Paulo is very impressive. If you plan to spend any time in São Paulo, book a tour with ASA 55.”
