One of the best wine producer I ever visited. Amazing structure, resulting on fine wine, according to many awards. You can feel the passion from the employees, on making their best to get the the finest wine on the region.
Raul — Google review
They are among the best wineries in Brazil and South America. The terroir is perfect for wines, high termal amplitude, winter is very cold, a lot of sun to ripen the fruit and a soil with good drainage. Added to this, modern equipments and high quality inputs and materials. The result, great wines. The Chardonnay is the best of South America.
Luís L — Google review
(Translated by Google) What a place, my friends! What a wine!!! The service was excellent and very informative, we received excellent attention! The winery is beautiful, above average, every detail is very well thought out and balanced. The winery produces wine only with grapes from its own vineyard, which ensures a higher and more selective quality standard; after all, the wine is carefully planned from the vineyard up. The wines are exquisite and very well-crafted. For those who enjoy excellent wines, I recommend a visit to Villa Fracione. It's very easy to visit; you just need to schedule a visit on the website. The location is conveniently located, so if you're in São Joaquim and enjoy excellent wines, I highly recommend it. (Original) Que local meus amigos! Que vinho!!! O atendimento foi ótimo e muito explicado, tivemos uma ótima atenção! A vinícola é linda, acima da média, cada detalhe é muito bem pensado e harmonizado. A vinícola produz o vinho somente com as uvas do próprio vinhedo e isso traz um padrão de qualidade mais alto e seletivo, afinal o vinho é planejado desde o vinhedo. Os vinhos são finos e muito bem elaborados, para quem gosta de vinhos padrão de excelência recomendo a visita na Villa Fracione. É bem tranquilo de visitar, só tem que agendar a visita no site. O local é ótimo de chegar, então se estiver por São Joaquim e gostar de vinhos de excelência, recomendo a visita.

(Translated by Google) The experience was incredible. The beauty of the place, the history, the details in the decor, the wines… it was truly a wonderful experience! It was worth the R$130.00 per person for the tour and tasting of four wines. We made a reservation, but there were few people there. I believe it's possible to go without reservations during the off-season and on weekdays. Don't worry, it's worth it! (Original) A experiência foi incrível. A beleza do lugar, a história, os detalhes na decoração, os vinhos… foi uma experiência maravilhosa, mesmo!! Valeu o investimento de 130,00 por pessoa para o tour e degustação de 4 rótulos. Fizemos reserva porém tinham poucas pessoas. Acredito que fora de temporada e em dias de semana, seja possível ir sem reserva. Pode ir sem medo que vale a pena!
LUCAS S — Google review
(Translated by Google) The place is very beautiful. We only took the tour without tasting, which costs 68 reais. It lasts only 20 minutes and includes a video beforehand, which shortens the tour even further, as it doesn't even include the vineyard. It ends up being more worthwhile to do the tasting, which costs 110 reais, than to buy the wines at the bar and store. In fact, the bar doesn't offer appetizers or side dishes, which leaves the experience incomplete, unlike other wineries like d'Alture, which offers a charcuterie board and other options. (Original) O local é muito bonito, fizemos apenas a tour sem degustação que custa 68 reais, dura apenas 20 minutos e antes é mostrado um vídeo, o que encurta ainda mais o passeio, que nem ao menos contempla o parreiral. Acaba valendo mais a pena fazer com a degustação que custa 110 reais do que comprar os vinhos no bar e loja. Aliás no bar não há opções de aperitivos e acompanhamentos, o que deixa a experiência incompleta, diferente de outras vinícolas como a d'alture que oferece tábua de frios entre outros.
Thiago W — Google review
(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen! Stunning gardens, vineyards, and architecture. However, we were surprised by the sheer inelegance and lack of professionalism. We called to schedule the tour and were quoted a price of R$68.00 without tasting, and since we were traveling with elderly people and children, we preferred it. However, upon arriving at the winery, a rude and ill-mannered man told us the price had been incorrectly quoted, saying it would be R$100.00 without tasting and R$130.00 with tasting. We argued that we had been quoted the R$68.00 price, and he said that was the correct price and that only children would pay that price. At that point, I was very upset and was about to leave, but my wife convinced me to stay. There's a real lack of professionalism with visitors. In fact, I think a good impression with the winery would be worth more than imposing a situation. Accepting their mistake and owning up to it would have cost them less. I recommend visiting for the beauty of the place as a whole and because there are so few other places like it in the area. I hope they change the employee; I think he's a manager, but he's not qualified for the position he's in. What a shame! (Original) Um dos lugares mais lindos que já conheci! Jardins, parreiral e arquitetura belíssimos. Porém, formos surpreendidos com uma deselegância e falta de profissionalismo sem tamanho. Ligamos para agendar o tour e nos passaram o valor de R$ 68,00 sem degustação e como estávamos com idosos e crianças preferimos, mas ao chegar na vinícola já havia um senhor mal educado e rude que nos falou que o valor foi passado errado e que seria 100,00 sem degustação e 130,00 com degustação. Argumentamos que nos foi passado o valor de 68,00 e ele disse que o valor seria esse mesmo e que apenas as crianças que pagariam esse valor. Nesse momento fiquei muito aborrecido e iria embora, mas minha esposa me convenceu a ficar. Realmente falta profissionalismo com o visitante, na verdade acho que uma boa impressão com a vinícola valeria mais do que impor uma situação, aceitar que erraram e assumir o erro tinha custado menos para a sua imagem. No mais aconselho a visitarem pela beleza do lugar como um todo e por faltarem outros lugares como este na região. Espero que mudem o funcionário, acho até que seja gerente, mas não tem altura para estar no cargo que está. Uma pena!

(Translated by Google) Don't go without a reservation. The first day we went without an appointment and they politely ignored us 😂... So, we returned the next day, with an appointment, and were very well received. We did the tasting of four wines with a guided tour by Sidney. Sidney explained everything so well and with such expertise... I loved it! The winery's structure is the most beautiful I've ever visited. The furniture is fantastic! One suggestion I have for the winery is to have a menu and a restaurant. I didn't see it. I don't know if it has one. (Original) Não vá sem agendar. No primeiro dia fomos sem agendar e nos ignoraram lindamente 😂... Então, voltamos no outro dia, com agendamento, e fomos muito bem recepcionados. Fizemos a degustação de 4 rótulos com tour guiado pelo Sidney. Sidney nos explicou tão bem e com tanta propriedade... Amei! A estrutura da vinícola é a mais bonita que já visitei. A mobília é fantástica! Uma sugestão que deixo para a vinícola é ter um cardápio e restaurante. Não vi. Não sei se possui.

(Translated by Google) The beautiful Cathedral of Lages, Santa Catarina, boasts Gothic architecture reminiscent of medieval times, featuring vertical arched windows and colorful stained-glass windows depicting biblical scenes that create beautiful visual effects. Construction began in 1912 and it was inaugurated in 1922. (Original) A belíssima Catedral de Lages SC tem arquitetura gótica, que remete ao estilo medieval, conta com janelas verticais de arcos e coloridos vitrais com cenas bíblicas que criam belos efeitos visuais.

(Translated by Google) The Diocesan Cathedral is a true landmark of the city. With its Gothic architectural style, the church impresses with its grandeur and beauty. The colorful stained-glass windows, vertical lines, and artistic details evoke an atmosphere of reverence and contemplation. The cathedral's interior is equally enchanting, offering a welcoming space for both religious celebrations and moments of reflection. Beyond its spiritual significance, it is a tourist attraction well worth a visit, whether for its imposing aesthetic or the historical value it represents for Lages. (Original) A Catedral Diocesana é um verdadeiro cartão-postal da cidade. Com seu estilo arquitetônico gótico, a igreja impressiona pela imponência e beleza. Os vitrais coloridos, as linhas verticais e os detalhes artísticos evocam uma atmosfera de reverência e contemplação. O interior da catedral é igualmente encantador, oferecendo um espaço acolhedor tanto para celebrações religiosas quanto para momentos de reflexão. Além da importância espiritual, é um ponto turístico que vale muito a visita, seja pela estética imponente ou pelo valor histórico que representa para Lages.
Vinicius C — Google review
(Translated by Google) Located in the city center, Lages Cathedral is one of the region's main tourist and religious attractions. Built between 1912 and 1922, it combines neo-Gothic and Romanesque styles, notably its imposing façade, tall towers, and large stained-glass rose window. (Original) Localizada no centro da cidade, a Catedral de Lages é um dos principais pontos turísticos e religiosos da região. Construída entre 1912 e 1922, combina estilos neogótico e românico, com destaque para sua fachada imponente, torres altas e uma grande rosácea em vitral.

Waterfall Bride's Veil is a charming bed and breakfast located in a national park, offering simple accommodations and a restaurant with picturesque views. It is conveniently situated along the route to Morro da Igreja, making it easily accessible from the main road. Visitors can enjoy close proximity to the stunning waterfall, where they can admire its beauty and the tranquil flow of the adjacent river. While the area may become noisy when crowded, it still offers a peaceful and scenic environment for leisurely walks.
Cool place with nice trails and fun for all ages. Conveniently located near “pedra Furada” famous view, this place is a hidden gem. I tried the zip line and it was worth it.

Definitely worth visiting, yes entry has a cost but by the time you have seen the waterfalls and walked through the forest is definitely worthwhile
Chris P — Google review
Worth the visit without a doubt! It is on the way of those who are coming-going from Morro da Igreja and the access is close to the main road. It is possible to get close to the waterfall, to contemplate its beauty and the calm of the water running along the river beside. The place is a bit small, if there are a lot of people it can make the visit a little bit noisy and unpleasant. It is necessary to pay a small conservation fee (so to speak) and besides the waterfall, also has restaurant, snack bar and the most diverse souvenirs and products for sale.

Goodness. If there was a negative rating, I would apply it in this rare case. If you spent your childhood years and summers here, then surely its a memory from childhood and scores a 5 on emotional points. If you are a foreigner and have traveled to pretty much any other beach anywhere else on earth, then do not come here. Dark murky sewer infested water with crowded buildings and absolutely no infrastructure. Drive to any other destination and you are sure to find a better way to spend your time. Or stay home and watch netflix with some popcorn

(Translated by Google) Overrated trip, it is beautiful yes, but there is nothing grand, in the first hour of the trip, those on the right side only see garbage, debris thrown very close to the tracks, in addition to the lack of zeal along the way, the train is falling apart , bathroom without water, faulty flush, at 8 am the bathroom was already filthy, with many papers thrown on the floor. (Original) Passeio superestimado, é bonito sim, mas não tem nada de grandioso, na primeira hora de viagem,quem está do lado direito só vê lixo, entulho jogados bem próximos aos trilhos,além da falta de zelo pelo caminho, o trem está caindo aos pedaços, banheiro sem água, descarga com defeito, as 8 horas da manhã banheiro já estava imundo, com muitos papéis jogados pelo chão.

The train has a guide that explains everything, has a bathroom and the scenery along the way is amazing. (Original) Passeio excelente. O trem sai da estação ferro-rodoviária de Curitiba para Paranaguá e segue caminho até Morretes, no litoral. O trem tem guia que vai explicando tudo, tem banheiro e a paisagem pelo caminho é incrível.

Melina R — Google review
(Translated by Google) The river is very beautiful, the landscape and the photos it provides are sensational. The river is suitable for swimming, but I must admit that it was a bit of an unusual experience to see several people in bathing suits entering the river in the middle of the city center. But it is worth seeing. There are usually several stalls at the markets and umbrellas near the river. (Original) O rio é muito bonito, a paisagem e as fotos que proporciona são sensacionais. O rio é próprio para banho, mas confesso que foi uma experiência um pouco atípica ver várias pessoas de roupas de banho entrando no rio no meio do centro da cidade. Mas vale a pena conhecer. Geralmente tem várias barraquinhas nas feirinhas e guarda sol perto do rio.

It has cool fishes, though it a small place. I have rated 3 star cause my kid was super excited at the first day we visited, but tjey were cleaning up the fish tank and water was very unclear, so we've got tickets for some other day. We returned 3 days later and water was as unclear as before. We visited the place twice within 3 days and we couldn't see the sharks

Parque Zoológico Municipal "Quinzinho de Barros" is a large and popular zoo located in Sorocaba, Brazil. Spanning 15 hectares, it is the second largest zoo in the country in terms of species. The zoo features various animal exhibits, a museum for educational purposes, and a picturesque lake and forest. Visitors can observe rare birds, monkeys, snakes, and other animals while enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
It’s a really worth place to visit. As of April, 2023, entrance fee is 8 BRL per adult, 4 BRL per kid. It’s not so big land, they don’t have any kind of animals such as São Paulo zoo, but it’s not crowded, we can see rare birds, monkeys, snakes and others. Less than 2 hours is enough to see all. We enjoyed our holiday there.

Some products have discounts, others don’t. So don’t expect to buy everything you want there.

I was able to visit the temple last Sunday with friends, and I must say that it was such a stellar place! It is not hard to navigate, everything can be found rather easily. The lake they have there is lovely, having fish and turtles that were easy to see. We saw some colourful birds, and the bridge over the lake was a cool feature. There are vivid, colourful landscapes to be seen. The statues remind you that you are not in an ordinary place. The temple itself and its surroundings are nothing like the architecture we see in this country, so it draws your eyes to the roofs, walls, doors, finishings and more. There were people ready to provide useful information. There was some sort of celebration going on, and it was interesting to see. This is definitely a great place to visit even if you are not a religious individual, as the temple is absolutely stunning!

Beautiful area. The peacocks 🦚 and other animals are a joy. Great freedom to explore at your own pace. There is a part for native culture but the performance was cancelled because there weren't enough people. There was 10 plus of us there and no one came to explain it was cancelled which I felt was disappointing. There is a chocolate factory that has good products, although I've been to better chocolate factories in Ireland and Italy. Its a great visit for 3 hours but I think they have so much capacity to grow if they added some more activities, particularly with the native culture. It feels a little tacked on. Definitely would visit again and I'd encourage others. ITU the nearby city is also the best city I've visited in Sao Paulo for tourism, so far.

Great place for kids. A 1 day adventure for the whole family. Many chocolates to buy, as well you are able to have a nice lunch. There is entertainment for kids and a Indian guru.

(Translated by Google) Very well-kept and preserved gardens; pleasant and peaceful walk along a unique waterfront; offers passers-by the chance to admire a sculpture by Tomie Othake in the open air; an example of the democratization of universal access to beauty.

(Translated by Google) Did you know? 1 - On streets with little shade, the asphalt wears out up to 30% more due to the sun's rays. 2 - Tree-lined streets require less artificial cooling, which reduces electricity costs. 3 - By planting only native species from the Atlantic Forest, the city gains more flowering trees, helping to attract more birds. 4 - The city government reuses all pruning material to produce its own fertilizer through composting. This is used in gardens, squares and parks, and is rich in all the nutrients essential for the health of plants. There are more than 5 km of gardens on the waterfront of the city of Santos. It is the largest continuous garden in the world. Always well-kept, with several trees, shrubs and a wide variety of flowers. The waterfront gardens are the city's postcard. In the gardens, you can also find several busts and monuments that make up the history of Santos and the world. Even in winter, with the leaves lying on the ground, while the cleaning battalion is in action to remove all the leaves from the beautiful trees that provide wonderful shade. The gardens are beautiful. Take the opportunity to see several birds singing and flying in the city's beautiful gardens. The Baixada Santista region has more than 270 species of birds. On the waterfront, you will find images of 100 species of birds in the gardens. You can see them all over the city, in the canals, on the streets, in the Orchid Gardens, in the Botanical Garden, etc., but now you can also learn more about these creatures that bring us so much joy. Photographer and Biologist Leonardo Casadei has created a Field Guide - Birds of the Atlantic Forest Coast, which you can purchase on Instagram or Facebook or simply get the information for free. New trees are always being planted throughout the city of Santos. On my YouTube channel, I have several videos of Santos @anibalcarrion5913 (Original) Você sabia? 1 - Em ruas onde há pouco sombreamento , ocorre um desgaste até 30 % maior do asfalto por causa dos raios solares. 2 - Ruas arborizadas têm menor necessidade de refrigeração artificial, o que reduz o gasto com energia elétrica. 3 - Ao plantar apenas espécies nativas da Mata Atlântica, a cidade ganha árvores mais floridas, ajudando a atrair mais pássaros. 4 - A prefeitura reaproveita todo o material da poda para produzir o seu próprio adubo por meio da compostagem. Ele é utilizado nos jardins, praças e parques, sendo rico em todos os nutrientes essenciais para a saúde dos vegetais. São mais de 5 km de jardins na orla da cidade de Santos. É o maior jardim contínuo do mundo. Sempre bem cuidado, com diversas árvores, arbustos e uma grande variedade de flores. Os jardins da orla é o cartão postal da cidade. Nos jardins também você pode encontrar vários bustos e monumentos que fazem a historia santista e mundial. Mesmo no inverno, com as folhas caídas no chão, enquanto o batalhão da limpeza está em ação para retirar todas as folhas das lindas árvores que dão uma sobra maravilhosa. Os jardins são lindos. Aproveite para ver diversos pássaros a cantar e voar no lindo jardim da cidade. A região da Baixada Santista, tem mais de 270 espécies de pássaros. Na orla, você vai encontrar imagens de 100 espécies de aves nos jardins. Você pode ver por toda a Cidade, nos canais, nas ruas, no Orquidários, no Jardim Botânico, enfim, mas agora você pode também saber mais sobre estes seres que nos trazem tantas alegrias. O fotógrafo e Biólogo Leonardo Casadei, elaborou um Guia de Campo - Aves da Costa da Mata Atlântica, você pode adquirir no Instagram ou pelo Facebook ou simplesmente obter as informações de graça. Novas árvores sempre estão sendo plantadas por toda cidade de Santos. No meu canal do YouTube, tenho diversos vídeos de Santos @anibalcarrion5913

(Translated by Google) In the past it was good, but today, despite the city's cameras, you can't take pictures or use your cell phone in peace, there are lots of homeless people lying on benches. The Lion and the Lioness are all dirty, unfortunately. (Original) No passado era bom hoje apesar das câmeras da cidade não dá pra tirar foto ou usar o celular em paz, cheio de moradores de rua deitados nos bancos. O Leão é a leoa todos sujos infelizmente
