A beautiful place, it's a very well-organized zoo, the staff is super helpful and welcoming, the Animals look very healthy, as if they're well taken care of. I absolutely loved this place and recommend buying the combo at a discount. Also, plan to come early in the morning, because it is gigantic and you wouldn't want to miss out on seeing anything.

A good whole days outing . I was generally favourably impressed with the enclosures in relation to their occupants , the only ones I had some reservations about were the Condors & the Harpy Eagles which are such huge birds. The zoo is well laid out & all the exhibits are labelled in both English & Portuguese. Particularly impressed with the bird enclosures & was very , very lucky to attend on the very day that the critically endangered Spix Macaw ( 2 of them ) were released into their new aviary. Some impressive murals on walls around the zoo. Large lake , refreshment outlets & a shop.

We did the night experience at the zoo, where you walk around a night following a dedicated path/ green line through the exhibits of the park. You don’t get to experience everything but you do see a lot! Elephant, giraffes, lions, and a hippo really up close! There is a place to get snacks like popcorn and candy but the other food that’s 1/2 way along your journey looked dried out and nasty. The popcorn was good though!

The São Paulo Zoo (Zoológico de São Paulo) is a fantastic destination for families and animal lovers! With over 3,000 animals, including rare species like jaguars and golden lion tamarins, it offers an engaging and educational experience. The lush Atlantic Forest setting makes it feel immersive. Some enclosures could be more modern, but conservation efforts are commendable. A great day out! 🦁🌿 #SãoPauloZoo #Wildlife

It's a marvelous place to spend the day. A good place for young kids and family in general. There's tap water for free. Also you'll find places to rest along the way, because it's a very big place. Dinosaur park require another ticket to enter. For me, I would skip. Nothing new that I haven't seen before. But kids will certainly love it.

I had the best time hiking in this park. The small paths in the jungle were filled with interesting plants, fungi, and caterpillars of all colors and sizes. Watch out for the green one - it is venomous. We spent 4 hours exploring the park, and I enjoyed every second. We didn't see any animals, such as monkeys or coatis, but it was still worth going. There is a small cafe on the viewpoint, where you can buy a snack or coffee. I wouldn't recommend, as the cappuccino was cold and they didn't even mix the powder with water properly and served it with clumps, although we were the only customers :) The park is huge, and there's barely anyone (we visited on a weekday), so you can enjoy nature and walk through the park at your own pace.

A trail that every time you go, you always end up with a new surprise. Park team well oriented in relation to the prevention of covid at the entrance of the part. For those who want to disconnect a little from the world, I recommend the view on the stone and it is sensational!

Amazing experience walking up to Pedra Grande. If you are tired there’s a transportation shuttle to come down for 25 réais. I saw monkeys, butterflies, birds and more. Don’t go to Lago das carpas, it’s not worth it.
Zihan C — Google review
Really nice place, safe, clean, calm. You can see birds, insects, animals. It’s not so big so you have time to talk and take pictures, I think it take you 4h minimum to see perfectly the park ! Prepare some cash for the entry, student card, and some drink and food cause you don’t have inside but it’s better like that I guess ! I recommend !

Santos Touristic Tram

Mentioned on

Transportation
Tramways
The Santos Touristic Tram offers guided tours of the city center aboard restored trams, departing from an 1867 railway station. This original 1920 electric street car provides a picturesque way to explore the historical center of Santos, one of Brazil's oldest settlements. The ride offers a glimpse into the city's past and creates an open-air museum experience for tourists. Despite being in Portuguese, the tour is still worth it for its unique perspective on the old town of Santos.
Short route finished in 15 minutes, going around Old Santos. Many historic sites pointed out. Free espresso to sample nearby Rei Do Cafe.
Tchanrosewood — Google review
All old towns have trams :D Whether it's in Europe or Brazil. It is very nice to see an old tram in such nice condition. Together with the buildings surrounding it, it is a beautiful example of the old town of Santos. Being there, you can feel the atmosphere of the past. You can also feel like in Europe, but unfortunately there such cultural values are neglected and often replaced by modernity. It is a good starting point for exploring the old town of Santos.

Museu Pelé

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Museum
Specialty Museums
Nestled in the heart of Santos, Brazil, Museu Pelé stands as a tribute to one of football's greatest icons. This captivating museum is a treasure trove for fans and sports enthusiasts alike, showcasing an impressive array of memorabilia that chronicles Pelé's remarkable journey from his early days in Santos to his legendary status on the global stage. With eight thoughtfully curated exhibition rooms, visitors can immerse themselves in the life and achievements of 'The King' through trophies, photographs, and personal artifacts.
Going to Santos and not seeing Museum Pele is like going to Paris and not seeing Tour Eiffel. Impressive exhibition taking you throughout the life of the Brazilian icon, all spread over four floors, at the end of this visit being richer in terms of football culture.
Nicolae B — Google review
Museu Pelé in Santos is the kind of place that pulls you in even if you are not a hardcore football fan. Set inside a beautifully restored 19th-century mansion in the city’s historic district, it feels less like a static museum and more like stepping into Pelé’s life story. The collection is impressive—jerseys, boots, trophies, rare photographs, even a replica of the Jules Rimet trophy. But it is not just about objects; the way they are displayed tells a narrative. Interactive screens let you dive into moments from Pelé’s career, and there are videos that show not just the goals but the context—the struggles, the training, and the joy behind them. The space itself is bright, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out. There is enough to keep you engaged for a couple of hours without it feeling overwhelming. I appreciated how the exhibits balance football history with Pelé’s personal journey, showing how his early years in Santos shaped the player and person he became. One note: the museum is in an older part of the city that can feel a bit run-down, so it is best to visit during the day. Once inside, though, you are in a completely different world—one filled with energy, pride, and the legacy of one of the greatest athletes in history. Whether you grew up watching Pelé or only know his name from stories, this museum gives you a deeper connection to the man and the game.

Second time coming here and they have added some fresh exhibits. Never personally tried their coffee shop but smells so good. Some of The t-shirt merch price are affordable while some are considered too expensive. It's a free admission museum but very well maintained and curated so well. I would definitely comeback later.
Achell S — Google review
Absolutely loved the experience. The museum fee is zero. There is a souvenir shop at the entrance/exit to the museum and a nice place to have snacks as well. The museum houses a life size wax statue of Pele, along with his medals, trophies and various other things from his childhood and his journey through life. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Santos. Extra info: The tickets for the tour tram are also available inside the museum premises only.
Mohit S — Google review
I was excited to visit this museum. I always heard about Pele, but never knew his story. I learned so much about Pele just by visiting this museum. Unfortunately Pele passed earlier this year. May his soul rest in peace. He was one of the athletes to have put Brazil on the map even during difficult times of the war. I’m glad to have learned so much. Go give this museum a visit.

Visitors have shared their experiences of encountering friendly and helpful staff at the stadium, making it a memorable visit. The atmosphere during games is described as electric, especially when witnessing passionate fans like Gavioes da Fiel in action.
Built in 2014 for the World Cup, it's still as impressive as 10 years ago. Very modern stadium, house of Corinthians Football Club. I watched a derby here (Corinthians vs Palmeiras) and I can say it really was one of the best atmosphere I ever encountered at this kind of event.
Nicolae B — Google review
Great arena tour, gave me awesome ideas for world-building, also learned some parts of the history of the team, only problem that I found (may not be a problem for everyone) was that the tour guide spoke too quickly, didn't wait for the party to be full to begin explaining, plus the microphone was too loud and burst, I couldn't understand a couple of things, but overall a good experience. Although some things were dirty even though construction isn't over yet.

We went here for the first time to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the Chargers. NFL football. Very straight forward place to get into. Plenty of Uber drivers to leave the stadium after the game. Seating was not crammed and small. Had plenty of elbow room. Ordering food was done through a kiosk and then you take that reciept to another counter to receive your food which we found to be very efficient. We purchased a souvenir cup and when we went to pick up our order learned that we did not receive a drink with the cup which we thought was weird. Had to go back to the kiosk to order a drink, and when we went to go pick it up the canned soda only filled our small souvenir cup up half way. The lady helping us with the food was super helpful and nice as was all of them. The only other small issues were that they closed the store before the game started and then opened it back up after. It was at least 90minutes prior to the game starting and they closed the store? Nice stadium and enjoyed our time here.

Very organized shopping center with ample parking space. There is a good variety of quality products, a movie theater, and restaurants. The prices are typically more elevated but this is a general rule in shopping centers/malls in Brazil.
Nassim D — Google review
I'm a tourist from the U.S and one of my favorite things to do is to see the difference between malls in different countries. Let's just say Brazilian malls are one of my new favorites. I wasn't there to buy anything so I enjoyed just looking around, however, if you were going to buy something it's not very cheap. Example: a Maybelline mascara costs 80 Reais which, for an American, would be $20.00. I would economize, look around, and maybe buy something small, but don't go there for a shopping spree. The food court is great with several options, but, again, the prices and portions are wild for me as a foreigner. Overall, the mall is pretty and clean and I would come here again just to see the different stores.
Larissa M — Google review
A not so huge space. A congested environment during weekend. Just like other malls the ambience is the same and restaurants as usual are crowded. No English speaking guide and Walmart in it is the added advantage. Walmart is not so big as we normally see but a good place for a one stop shop
Ansari S — Google review
I only didn't give it a 5 star because of it's Pet Policy. Like in many other malls in Brazil pets are allowed in, but in this one you have to carry them on your lap. It is also forbidden to leave your pet at the entrance like many other places allow you to. So, if your pet is a lil fatty like mine, choose a different place to go to. Appart from that, very best mall in town.

Daniel B — Google review
(Translated by Google) Excellent for admiring the horizon and the landscape in general. However, considering the profile of São José dos Campos, it should be revitalized, taking advantage of the slope of the land, expanding the tiny deck, and building an attached grandstand with the same wooden profile as the deck, offering comfort to those who appreciate this view. Since it would be a hidden location, it would be necessary to install a security camera, ensuring not only security but also order, preventing crime and undesirable behavior from inconvenient people. The City Hall could authorize the construction of a coffee shop/snack bar next to the deck, with public restrooms (paid), separate for men and women. The responsibility for cleaning and maintenance would be outsourced to a third party. Besides the revenue for the merchant, it would offer convenience to deck users who want to enjoy the landscape for longer. (Original) Excelente para contemplar o horizonte e paisagem em geral. Mas para o perfil de São José dos Campos, deveria ser revitalizado, aproveitando a inclinação do terreno, ampliando o minúsculo Deck, construindo em anexo, uma *arquibancada com o mesmo perfil de madeira do Deck, oferecendo conforto aos apreciadores dessa paisagem. *como ficaria um local escondido, seria necessário a instalação de câmera de segurança, garantindo, além de segurança, ordem, evitando crimes e comportamentos indesejáveis pessoas inconvenientes... A Prefeitura, poderia conceder a construção de uma Cafeteira/Lanchonete, ao lado, do Deck, com banheiros públicos (pago), distintos para homem e mulher. Onde a responsabilidade de limpeza e manutenção, seria do terceirizado. Além da renda para o comerciante, ofereceria conveniência para usuários do Deck, que queiram contemplar a paisagem, por mais tempo...

(Translated by Google) We went to see the Smoke Squadron perform. I parked the car far away because I was sure it would be chaos and the road would be closed. We walked along Anchieta Avenue and I was enchanted by the bike path and the scooters that we could rent through an APP. There were a lot of military personnel there because of the event and the municipal guard did a great job too. The place is ideal for families and couples in love because it has a wonderful view and very chic bars and restaurants. (Original) Fomos ver apresentação da Esquadrilha da Fumaça, parei o carro longe pois tinha certeza que lá estaria um caos e a via interditada, andamos na avenida Anchieta e fiquei encantada com a ciclovia, com os patinetes que podemos alugar por APP, tinha bastante militares no local por conta do evento e a guarda municipal fez bonito também. Local ideal para família e casais apaixonados pois tem uma vista maravilhosa, bares e restaurantes chiquérrimos.

It's an easy stroll through the park, and there's even a maze to navigate through. There are various plants to see and coy fish in the ponds. And there's a tree house you can visit. You only need 1-2 hours total to see everything. The employees were nice, but it may be difficult to find someone that speaks English.

Highly recommend Amantikir Park; it is a must see if you are in the area.

Boa Vista Palace, a former governor's residence in winter, now serves as a museum showcasing historical objects and art alongside contemporary works. The palace offers guided tours on specific days, so it's recommended to book in advance. Built in the European style, the palace boasts a vast area worth exploring. On weekends, it attracts many visitors with highly knowledgeable guides sharing its history and significance within the state government.
It's a wonderful building. You can see art and building from different times, from 18th century chests to nowadays paintings. The place is a must go to any lover of art or/and history. Outside the building there's a garden which is the only place you can take pictures of, and it's very beautiful too.

Waterfalls
Ducha de Prata is a popular tourist spot in Campos do Jordao, featuring man-made waterfalls and showers accessible via wooden decks. The water supply comes directly from the natural waterfalls of Ribeirao de Perdizes. Visitors can stroll along the wooden bridges, listen to the soothing sounds of the waterfall, and explore nearby souvenir stalls offering various items such as clothing, chocolates, and crafts.
Another tourist attraction in Campos de Jordão and one of the best for sure. A small waterfall with walking areas and platforms designed to get the best picture possible. Lots of small shops and restaurants around as well as tourism buses departing and arriving here. On the low side there is lack of toilets, so if you have the urge, you need to use one of the tiny ones located within the restaurants around.

Beautiful view in a place that could get potential to be better. We climbed to the elephant's hill using the scared cable car, I believe its was created with the city and never modernized. My husband, who is Canadian, liked the experience more than I did. He was scared but he found excited at the same time. I think that because I have already been to Campos do Jordão several times, I think at this point the city, which seems to be very rich looking at the hotels in the area and people who frequent it, should have already renovated that a long time ago and have made something much better and more attractive, as the other countries that have mountains for Ski. I think don’t need to be exactly the same, but Mount Tremblant in Quebec also has a small area up hill and its not so fancy, but little more attractive and safe. Anyway, the view is very beautiful and we can see the whole city, mountains and part of the other surrounding regions. When we get up there again, the attractions could be much more elaborate and modernized giving opportunity to locals to get better jobs, show a nicer view and give to the city, locals and visitors a better structure. I think the place with elephants is a good idea, especially for children, but they could modernize it and charge a little for the entrance to maintain the place. They also could make a kind of a little mall where people could expose their crafts making their products more attractive and a nice cafe or restaurant with a lookout ... Anyway, use a little of the American style of exposing your business, which could be better for everybody. If I had money to invest, that unfortunately is not the case at the moment, I would probably organize people and get that changed for the benefit of all city and visitors. Grade: Eli = 3, Serge = 3 Recommend: It’s worth for the Mountain View.

Perfect to buy gifts and there more attractions outside the Basilica as well. The entire city is filled with attractions and even the cities nearby.

Up to six people can enter each cable car at a time. If you want, you can pay a little more and go up the elevator and have an even better view of the sanctuary. (Original) Foi um passeio bem divertido em familia , tem uma visão bem bonita do santuario e da cidade .Teve fila ,mas foi bem rapidinho .pode entrar ate seis pessoas por vez em cada bondinho .se vc quiser paga um pouquinho a mais e pode descer la em cima subir o elevador e ter uma vista ainda melhor do santuario .

(Translated by Google) Butterflies in my stomach LOL I highly recommend this tour; the views of the basilica and the city are unique. But I don't recommend it for seniors; you're practically riding the tram. (Original) Frio na barriga KKKKK Eu recomendo muito esse passeio, a vista que você tem da basílica e da cidade é única. Mas não recomendo tanto para idosos, você praticamente pega o bonde andando.

(Translated by Google) The cable car is an attraction that's truly worth a visit in Aparecida. Safe, well-maintained, and with excellent facilities, it connects the National Sanctuary to the Mirante do Morro do Cruzeiro viewpoint, providing a peaceful and pleasant ride. During the journey, you can enjoy beautiful views of the Basilica, the city, and the surrounding landscapes. The structure inspires confidence, and the route is an excellent way to contemplate Aparecida from a new perspective, combining faith, nature, and a very beautiful visual experience. (Original) O Bondinho Aéreo é uma atração que realmente vale a visita em Aparecida. Seguro, bem cuidado e com ótima estrutura, ele liga o Santuário Nacional ao Mirante do Morro do Cruzeiro, proporcionando um passeio tranquilo e agradável. Durante o trajeto, é possível apreciar belas vistas da Basílica, da cidade e das paisagens ao redor. A estrutura transmite confiança, e o percurso é uma excelente forma de contemplar Aparecida de um novo ângulo, unindo fé, natureza e uma experiência visual muito bonita.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful ride. Magnificent views! There was still half an hour left before the sun set behind the mountains, and it was very hot. Unfortunately, we didn't wait. You can see several nearby towns from up there. (Original) Passeio lindo. Visual magnífico! Ainda faltava meia hora para o por do Sol atrás da serra e estava muito quente. Não esperamos infelizmente.

The Basílica Histórica de Nossa Senhora Aparecida is a welcoming place for pets, as visitors are surprised by how well-behaved they are. It's possible to attend mass with your furry friends without any issues. When visiting, it's recommended to sit closer to the door and in the back rows to manage any barking. The architecture of the basilica is stunning, although some visitors were unable to enter due to closure.
Look how they love Mother Mary! 💓💓💓

The parish priest tried to prevent a large flock of faithful to pray the Holy Rosary in front of the church. This had been announced days in advance. Instead he purposely rang all of the church bells, to make so much noise that nobody could understand a word - it was a wonderful experience to pray the Holy Rosary under such circumstance, against the orders of the pastor! *Shame on this parish pastor!*

The Museu de Maquetes da Nossa História is a museum that showcases scaled models depicting our rich history. This institution exhibits a wide array of miniature replicas illustrating significant events, landmarks, and cultural aspects of the past. The collection within this establishment provides visitors with an immersive experience into the diverse heritage we possess. Through intricate dioramas and meticulous craftsmanship, the museum offers an educational and visually captivating journey into our collective narrative.
(Translated by Google) It was all very good, I just think there needs to be some support from the city hall to improve the staff's conditions. (Original) Foi tudo muito bom, so acho que falta algum apoio da prefeitura para melhorar as condições do pessoal

(Translated by Google) A pleasant space with several rooms with models that recall some important events in our history. There are also many objects and weapons used in the battle of the 1932 revolution. (Original) Espaço agradável com várias salas com maquetes que relembram alguns fatos marcantes de nossa história. Também há muitos objetos e armas utilizadas na batalha da revolução de 32.
Reynaldo M — Google review
(Translated by Google) The work done with the models is sensational! Very meticulous and detailed. However, I believe that because there are so many models, the tour with high school students is too quick! They quickly and mechanically tell the stories portrayed in the works, leaving us no time to contemplate them. We must value youth in this type of work, but it seems like there's a lack of better supervision (as well as financial resources—they accept donations). It's worth checking out. (Original) O trabalho feito com a maquetes é sensacional! Muito minucioso e detalhado. Mas, acredito que por terem muitas maquetes, o tour com jovens do ensino médio é muito rápido! Eles contam rápida e mecanicamente sobre as histórias retratadas nos trabalhos que não nos dá tempo de contemplar os trabalhos. Temos que valorizar a juventude neste tipo de trabalho, mas parece que falta uma monitoria melhor (além de recursos financeiros - aceitam doações). Vale prestigiar.

(Translated by Google) A somewhat hidden place near the Passa Quatro station, but worth a visit. The tour is guided by monitors who explain the history of each model on display. There are several rooms with models and objects from various historical periods such as the 1932 revolution, the Farrapos War and imperial history. There is no entrance fee, they only ask for a donation to keep the place running. (Original) Lugar um pouco escondido próximo a estação de passa quatro, mas que vale a visita. A visita é guiada por monitores que explicam a história de cada maquete exposta. São várias salas com maquetes e objetos de várias épocas históricas tais como a revolução de 1932, guerra dos Farrapos e história imperial. Não é cobrada a entrada somente pedem uma doação para manter o local funcionando.

(Translated by Google) The miniature museum is a project where the city's young people have the opportunity to get a "first job", so to speak. All the attractions/areas are presented by them, and the models are also made by the boys and girls involved in the project. The museum presents facts from the 1932 revolution and other historical attractions in Brazil. The models are representations of national historical facts. As mentioned, the entire presentation is made by the young people involved in the project. Each one is responsible for presenting a wing/sector of the museum. Admission is free, and a donation is accepted at the end of the visit, all with the aim of helping the young people who participate in the project. A wonderful project. (Original) O museu de miniaturas é um projeto onde os jovens da cidade tem a oportunidade de um “primeiro emprego “ digamos assim, todas as atrações/áreas, são apresentadas por eles, as maquetes também são feitas pelos meninos e meninas do projeto, o museu apresenta fatos da revolução de 32 e outros atrativos históricos do Brasil, as maquetes são representações de fatos históricos nacionais. Como mencionado toda a apresentação é feita pelos jovens do projeto, cada um é responsável por apresentar uma ala/setor do museu, a entrada é gratuita ficando a critério uma doação no final da visita, tudo no intuito de ajudar os jovens participantes do mesmo. Um projeto maravilhoso.

(Translated by Google) A BEAUTIFUL museum, it's a shame that it's without incentives, without help, and is deteriorating. It's a real shame. A beautiful place. Perfect models, with lots of details. Spectacular replicas of houses from different eras and places. What upset me the most was knowing that it will be closed next month due to lack of help from the city government. Our leaders are very stupid. We have to encourage our culture as much as possible. (Original) Um LINDO museu, pena que esta sem incentivo, sem ajuda, se degradando. Muita pena mesmo. Local lindo. Maquetes perfeitas, com muitos detalhes. Replicas de casas espetaculares, de varias épocas e locais. O que mais me chateou foi saber que a partir do mês que vem, será fechado por falta de ajuda da prefeitura. Nossos governantes são muito estúpidos. Temos que incentivar ao máximo a nossa cultura.

Trem da Serra da Mantiqueira

Train station
Transportation
Railways
Embark on a delightful journey aboard the Trem da Serra da Mantiqueira, located in the charming city of Passa Quatro, MG. This scenic train ride is pulled by the iconic steam locomotive Maria Fume and offers a round trip lasting about two hours. Along the way, you'll encounter breathtaking landscapes perfect for capturing memorable photos.
(Translated by Google) The Serra Train is a steam train operated by ABPF - Brazilian Association for Railway Preservation and is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Passa Quatro. The route is approximately 10 km long and the train departs from Passa Quatro station to Coronel Fulgêncio station, at the top of Serra da Mantiqueira, every Saturday and Sunday and on some holidays, also on Friday. Some stories are told along the way, as well as a singer with voice and guitar interprets classics of MPB and sertanejo music. The train makes its first stop at Manacá station, where the steam is increased for the ascent of the mountain and tourists can visit to buy handicrafts, sweets, honey and other treats. The end of the route is at Coronel Fulgêncio station, where passengers can see a photo exhibition telling a little about JK, who before becoming a politician was a captain in the Minas Gerais Military Police and treated many people injured in the fighting between the people of Minas Gerais and São Paulo during the 1932 revolution. Many photos of this movement can be found at this station, which is very close to the Mantiqueira Tunnel, on the border between the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo, and the scene of the biggest battles of the 1932 revolution, in which the people of Minas Gerais emerged as the big winners. The entrance fee is relatively expensive, R$90.00 per person, and it is best to book in advance. (Original) O Trem da Serra é uma Maria Fumaça de passageiros operado pela ABPF - Associação Brasileira de Preservação Ferroviária é uma atração imperdível para quem visita Passa Quatro. O percurso é cerca de 10 km e o trem parte da estação de Passa Quatro com destino à estação Coronel Fulgêncio, no alto da Serra da Mantiqueira, todo sábado e domingo e em alguns feriados, também na sexta-feira. Algumas histórias são contadas durante o percurso, assim como um cantor voz e violão interpreta clássicos da MPB e do sertanejo. O trem tem a primeira parada na estação Manacá, onde se aumenta o vapor para a subida da serra e os turistas podem visitar para adquirir produtos de artesanato, doces, mel e outras guloseimas. O final do percurso é na estação Coronel Fulgêncio, onde os passageiros podem conhecer uma exposição fotográfica contando um pouco de JK que antes de se tornar político, era médico capitão da Polícia Militar de Minas Gerais e tratou de muitos feridos nos combates entre mineiros e paulistas durante a revolução de 1932. Muitas fotos desse movimento se encontram nessa estação que fica bem perto do Túnel da Mantiqueira, divisa dos estados de Minas e São Paulo, palco dos maiores combates do movimento da revolução de 1932, em que os mineiros se saíram como grandes vencedores. O ingresso e é relativamente caro, R$ 90,00 por pessoa e o ideal é fazer reserva antecipada.

(Translated by Google) A great family outing, a very worthwhile experience for those who like to relive a bit of Brazilian history, a trip back in time to understand what life was like in the old days... The Maria Fumaça train is very well maintained, with a ramp for wheelchair access. The bathroom at one of the stations is very popular because it is tiny. In my opinion, the price could be a little more affordable to attract more passengers. We went as a family, 7 people, and since it was January (promotion) we paid half the price, 90 reais per person... (half price, according to the employee) (Original) Bom passeio em família, experiência muito válida para quem gosta de resgatar um pouco da história do Brasil, uma viagem no tempo para entender como já foi a vida a moda antiga …A Maria fumaça é muito bem cuidada, possuem rampa para acessibilidade a cadeirantes. Em uma das estações o banheiro é bem disputado por ser minúsculo. O preço, ao meu ver, poderia ser um pouco mais acessível para atrair mais passageiros. Fomos em família, 7 pessoas, por ser janeiro (promoção) pagamos metade da passagem, 90 reais por pessoa… (meia tarifa, segundo a funcionária)

(Translated by Google) It's a journey through time, lasting 2 hours. The train travels a short distance until it reaches the tunnel where the people of São Paulo and Minas Gerais clashed in the constitutionalist revolution of 1932. On the journey, there is a stop at the Manacá station to buy local products and live music on the train to liven things up. It's a program for those who like to get to know small towns and history. (Original) É uma viagem no tempo, com duração de 2 horas, o trem percorre um pequeno trecho chegando ao túnel onde houve o embate de paulistas e mineiros na revolução constitucionalista de 1932. Na viagem tem uma parada na estação manacá para compra de produtos locais e no trem música ao vivo para animar. É um programa para quem gosta de conhecer cidades pequenas e história.

(Translated by Google) The ride is very pleasant and relaxing. Along the way, there are several beautiful landscapes to take photos of. This time, I paid R$75.00 per person, but the regular price is R$150.00. At both stops, there are crafts and some drink and snack options. I took the ride at 10:00 am on Carnival Monday. I highly recommend this and other train rides! (Original) O passeio é bem gostoso e tranquilo de fazer. No caminho há várias paisagens lindas para tirar fotos. Nesta oportunidade paguei R$ 75,00 por pessoa, mas o preço normal é de R$ 150,00. Nas 2 paradas há artesanato e algumas opções de bebidas e comidas rápidas. Fiz no horário das 10hs na segunda-feira de Carnaval. Recomendo muito este e outros passeios de trem!

(Translated by Google) Excellent tourist facilities in the city of Passa Quatro/MG. Ticket booths are located in two carriages pulled by a steam locomotive, the well-known Maria Fume. The journey takes about 2 hours, round trip, with stops at two stations: Manaca, where there is delicious popcorn from Fernando and Coronel Fulgencio, the last station, with a good bathroom. From this point, walk about 200 meters to the MMDC tunnel, on the border with SP, a true history lesson. Price of the tour on 23 March 24, 90 reais. Cards and cash accepted. It operates on Saturdays and Sundays, departing at 10 am and 2:30 pm. It also operates on holidays. I recommend arriving half an hour early to buy tickets, as there is a high demand for passengers. (Original) Excelente equipamento de turismo da cidade de passa quatro/MG. Bilheteiros caracterizados no dois vagões tracionados por uma locomotiva a vapor, a conhecida Maria fumaça. O trajeto leva cerca de 2 horas , idade e volta, com parada em duas estações Manaca, onde há a deliciosa pipoca do Fernando e coronel fulgencio , última estação, contando com Bom banheiro. A partir desse ponto caminha se cerca de 200 metros até o túnel mmdc, divisa com sp, uma verdadeira aula de história. Preço do passeio em 23mar24, 90 reais. Aceita se cartões e dinheiro. Funciona de sábado e domingo com saídas às 10 h e 14h30. Bem como feriados. Recomendo chegar uma meia hora antes para compra de ingressos, a demanda de passageiros é grande.

(Translated by Google) Here is a piece of Brazil's railway history, preserved and serving to pass on the story to future generations. This spectacular ride certainly needs some improvements, but that doesn't detract from the tour in any way. On the contrary, it's worth highlighting the work of these people in keeping part of our history alive! The ride takes about 2 hours round trip, leaving from the city of Passa Quatro to the tunnel that borders the state of São Paulo, which is also an important piece of Brazilian history. Children love the ride on the train pulled by a steam locomotive (the famous Maria Fumaça). I recommend buying tickets in advance, as they always sell out, as they only run on weekends! (Original) Está aqui um pedaço da história ferroviária do Brasil, preservado e servindo para passar a história para as próximas gerações, passeio espetacular que com certeza precisa de uma ou outra melhora mas que não desmerece em nada o passeio, pelo contrário vale aqui ressaltar o trabalho dessas pessoas em manter viva parte da nossa história! O passeio leva cerca de 2 horas ia e volta, saindo da cidade de Passa Quatro até o túnel que faz divisa com o estado de São Paulo, ali também um pedaço importante da história do Brasil. As crianças adoram o passeio no trem puxado por uma locomotiva a vapor (famosa Maria Fumaça), recomendo comprar ingressos com antecedência pois sempre se esgotam já que só funciona ais finais de semana!

(Translated by Google) An experience that is definitely worth it! You can buy tickets online, or you can make a reservation by WhatsApp/phone, which are listed on the website. There are parking spaces around the station with easy access. After booking, you need to go to the ticket office at the station and pick up your ticket, which is very nice. Payment methods accepted at the ticket office: Cash/credit and debit cards. There are clean bathrooms at the station! My family and I went on Sunday, boarding at 10 am. When boarding, the super polite and charismatic employees tell you about what the tour will be like, as well as the stations where they stop, which are Manacá and Coronel Fulgêncio. Along the way, they tell you interesting facts about the tour and there is a singer who livens up the entire route, who sings very well and entertains the crowd! At the stops, there are bathrooms and stalls selling sweets, drinks, and crafts. At the last station, Coronel Fulgêncio, the guide takes us to the stage of the revolution, the tunnel that connects the cities of Passa Quatro and Cruzeiro. To get to the tunnel, we walk a few meters. I recommend wearing warm clothing and comfortable shoes! Finally, the train makes its turn and we return to the station. Throughout the ride, we are privileged by a beautiful view and lots of nature!!! I recommend the ride. (Original) Experiência que vale a pena sem dúvida alguma! A compra dos tickets pode ser feita pelo site, ou pode ser feito uma reserva pelo WhatsApp/Telefone que constam no site. Ao redor da estação, há vagas para estacionamento com fácil acesso. Após a reserva, é necessário, na estação, passar na bilheteria e retirar o ticket que é muito bonito. Métodos de pagamento aceito na bilheteria: Dinheiro/Cartões crédito e débito. Na estação há banheiros limpos! Eu e minha família fomos no domingo, embarcamos às 10h. No embarque, os funcionários que são super educados e carismáticos contam sobre como será o passeio, além das estações que param, sendo Manacá e Coronel Fulgêncio. No trajeto, contam curiosidades sobre o passeio e há um cantor que anima todo o trajeto, canta muito bem e anima o pessoal! Nas paradas há banheiro e barraquinhas que vendem doces, bebidas, artesanato. Na última estação, Coronel Fulgêncio, a guia nos leva ao palco da revolução, o túnel que liga a cidade de Passa Quatro e Cruzeiro, para chegar ao túnel, caminhamos alguns metros, recomendo uso de roupa de frio e calçado confortável! Por fim, o trem faz a manobra e voltamos para a estação. Durante todo o passeio, somos privilegiados por uma bela vista e muita natureza!!! Recomendo o passeio.

(Translated by Google) Sensational. A trip back in time, complete with an accordion player. The train takes us back to the city's past, the origin of its name, and the history of the railway. Very well maintained, it features a shiny and noisy locomotive, 🚂 blowing its whistle at every level crossing. (Original) Sensacional. Uma volta no tempo, com direito a sanfoneiro. O trem permite que viajemos ao passado da cidade, origem do nome e história da ferrovia. Muito bem conservado, possui uma locomotiva 🚂 brilhante e barulhenta, apitando a cada passagem de nível.
