Serra da Cantareira Holidays

COVID-19 has ushered in huge changes to the way we travel. If you plan to visit Serra da Cantareira, the following tips will help you navigate these new rules and challenges:

• Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before committing to a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app.
• Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to lower your mask temporarily to verify your identity.
• You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Rather, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
• You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
• To minimize handling during screening, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
• Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
