Helpfulness
Taking pictures from the mirador was once free, but now you are "invited" to pay R$ 2 at the restaurant's entrance and then they will let you go to the mirador.
Fun Alternatives: Take the cable car instead, if you aren't acrophobe.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: How cold does Campos do Jord?o get in winter? It gets very cold for brazilian standards, specially if you consider that Campos is not on the south of Brazil, where most of the coldest cities of the country are. The temperatures in winter will vary from 0?C to 15?, so you?d better bring a coat with you.
Even in summer, the city doesn?t usually gets hot. The temperatures shall vary from 15?C to 25?C.
