Andre Zerwes Patas, his wife (Tha) , and their daughter live on the property as well as some grounds keepers. They are incredibly nice people, some of the nicest I know. Google says the compound is a little over an hour from the airport (GRU) and about the same from the city itself (São Paulo). It almost always takes longer than that. I'm honestly not sure how accommodation works in terms of where you stay as an international visitor, if it's on site or in the nearby town, this is all stuff you'd have to talk over with them via email or facebook or something.
Besides the logistics of it all the compound itself is really nice. I haven't been with the new double drop set up, but the cable is a short but sweet little deal and the single drop I had the pleasure of riding was a good time. Regardless the best part of the whole deal is just riding at the compound with Patas and locals who absolutely love the sport while enjoying the relaxing and foreign atmosphere.
Apart from the compound, the neighboring and surrounding township area isn't too developed. It's just their enclosed property that is in good shape. To go to an actual town with restaurants, shops, and large grocery stores is about 20 minutes in Bragança Paulista.
Brazil is an amazing place and it's definitely worth a visit. WCP is a great place to start as a wakeskater too. I highly recommend you organize your visit there by communicating a bunch with Patas at WCP. That will be your best bet going about it.
Best of luck! _________________ http://projectsports.com.br
