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.

(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.

(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.

The place is wonderful. The hiking are trails pretty awesome. The food was great. The rooms had descent amenities, but few showers and toilets. And the fact that we had to walk up and downhill in the rain for 10 minutes each time we went back to our rooms was not nice. Anyway, the owner says he is investing a lot and soon it'll have some other great new areas to enjoy. Such as the new canopy path. Ah and the zip line is outstanding!!!

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.

(Translated by Google) We took a tour, which included an explanation of the history of the place and the city, and two institutional videos. This surprised me, because I thought we would only see the inside of the theater and be able to take some photos. The story is captivating, and they tell the story of the siege of Lapa from the point of view of the local people. It is well worth it for those who enjoy cultural immersion. The theater itself is small, but very charming. And they say that the emperor himself visited the place. (Original) Fizemos uma visita, que inclui uma explicação sobre a história do local, da cidade, e dois vídeos institucionais.

Vale muito a pena para quem gosta de imersão cultural. O teatro em si é pequeno, mas muito charmoso. Fora que dizem que o próprio imperador chegou a visitar o local.

(Translated by Google) The São João Theater is a true historical heritage site, impressive for its original architecture, almost entirely made of wood, which makes the place even more charming and authentic. One of the great landmarks in its history was the visit of Emperor Dom Pedro II, who watched a play there. His box, preserved to this day, is one of the highlights of the visit. The theater's well-preserved structure harks back to the past and is enchanting for its wealth of detail. The guided tour is very well explained, providing a true immersion into the culture and tradition of this unique space. (Original) O Theatro São João é um verdadeiro patrimônio histórico, impressionando pela sua arquitetura original, praticamente toda em madeira, o que torna o ambiente ainda mais charmoso e autêntico. Um dos grandes marcos de sua história foi a visita do imperador Dom Pedro II, que assistiu a uma peça no local. Seu camarote, preservado até hoje, é um dos destaques da visita. A estrutura do teatro, bem conservada, remete ao passado e encanta pela riqueza de detalhes. A visita guiada é muito bem explicada, proporcionando uma verdadeira imersão na cultura e na tradição desse espaço único.

Paulo F — Google review
(Translated by Google) A theater visited by Dom Pedro II in 1880, it was extremely important in the episode known as the Siege of Lapa, where it was converted into an infirmary due to the number of war wounded. Due to the fighting, part of the theater's structure was damaged, meaning the building does not fully resemble its original appearance, although it retains much of its period heritage and is one of the oldest museums in the state. (Original) Teatro visitado por Dom Pedro II, em 1880, e de extrema importância no episódio que ficou conhecido como cerco da Lapa, onde o mesmo foi convertido em enfermaria, devido o número de feridos na guerra. Devido aos confrontos, parte da estrutura do teatro fora danificada, fazendo com que a construção não possua um aspecto 100% original, embora conserve muito da época, sendo um dos mais antigos museus do estado.
Fabio E — Google review
(Translated by Google) The São João Theater is one of the first in Brazil and one of the few that preserves its original structure and is still in operation. The entrance fee currently costs R$3.00, with a half-price policy, which also gives you access to the city's Weapons Museum and Historical Museum. The tour is not guided, but you can access all areas of the theater freely, including the box that D. Pedro II occupied during his visit to Lapa in 1880, and the stage. The only thing I missed was more information about the place, but it's still worth a visit! (Original) O Theatro São João é um dos primeiros do Brasil e um dos poucos que preserva a estrutura original, e que continua na ativa. O ingresso atualmente custa R$ 3,00, com política de meia entrada, que também dá direito a entrada no Museu de Armas e no Museu Histórico da cidade. O passeio não é guiado, mas é possível acessar todas as áreas do teatro livremente, inclusive o camarote que D. Pedro II ocupou em sua visita a Lapa em 1880, e o palco. Senti falta apenas de mais informações sobre o local, mas mesmo assim vale a pena conhecer!

(Translated by Google) For those who enjoy the history of Curitiba, you can't miss it. The cost to visit three historical sites is only R$3. The city is very peaceful, so don't get carried away with the food 😅 (Original) Para quem gosta da história sobre Curitiba, não pode deixar de visitar Custo para visita de 3 pontos históricos tem apenas de R$3 reais A cidade é bem pacata , então não se empolgue em relação a comida 😅

Vinícola Araucária

Winery
Food & Drink
You must absolutely, without any hesitation or second thoughts, sample the costella dish at Vinícola Araucária winery. Having experienced my fair share of costella in various journeys across Brazil, I can confidently say that this hidden vineyard in the lush green hills of Parana takes first place. The costella is slow-cooked to perfection, adorned with a crispy and savory crust while remaining tender and moist on the inside - an unforgettable delight.
You have to absolutely without any hesitation or second thoughts try the costella dish. I have had my fair share of costella in my journeys throughout Brazil, and believe it or not, this vineyard hidden in the rolling green hills of parana takes the first place. Pefectly slow cooked, adorned with a crunchy and salty crust with a butter soft and moist inside makes this dish difficult to forget. Accompanied with a mandioca and a fluffy faroffa. The food was enjoyed with a home grown Anugustifolia Cabernet Sauvignon, which they grow right outside the restaurant. I Will definitely be back to try the costella, just to make sure it is as good as I remember... here are some pics to enjoy. Enjoy

(Translated by Google) The place is beautiful, very well maintained, and offers wonderful photos. We got there by chance, as it is poorly signposted and there is no internet access in the area, which means the GPS leaves you stranded. Since we didn't have a reservation, we thought we wouldn't be able to have lunch, but we were very well received, the food was good but nothing exceptional. We didn't have time to take the guided tour, but we did walk around the property. You can stay at the hotel, walk around the place without eating, or enjoy lunch. There are also trails and a waterfall. It's worth a visit and we'll be back for the tour and tasting. (Original) Local é lindo, muito bem cuidado, rende fotos maravilhosas. Chegamos lá por um acaso, é meio mal sinalizado e não pega Internet na região,ou seja gps te deixa na mão. Como não tinhamos reserva achamos até q não conseguiriamos almoçar, mas fomos muito bem recebidos, comida e boa mas nada excepcional. Não deu tempo de fazer o tour guiado, mas passeamos pela propriedade. Vc tem opções de se hospedar no hotel, de passear pelo local sem consumir, de aproveitar o almoço. Tbm tem trilhas e a cachoeira. Vale a visita e voltaremos pro tour e degustação.

(Translated by Google) It was a wonderful experience. The guided tour was very informative. I had several questions answered. Learning about the history of the place and tasting the wines and sparkling wines was incredible. We also stayed at the chalet, which is beautiful, but there was a problem with a sewage smell in the bathroom. When we turned on the bathtub, residue from the pipes came out, leaving the tub yellow. Another issue was that we had to call reception at night, but we didn't get an answer. We called five times because they had run out of toilet paper and the towels were very wet, and we wanted them replaced. We bought a Poty sparkling wine and were told we could ask for a bucket of ice to drink in the room at night, but we didn't get an answer. But the place is worth visiting for its history, beauty, and dedication to Paraná's culture. (Original) Foi uma experiência maravilhosa, o tour guiado foi bem esclarecedor, tirei várias dúvidas que tinha, conhecer a história do lugar e provar os vinhos e espumantes foi incrível. Ficamos ospedados no chalé também, o lugar é lindo, mais teve um problema com cheiro de esgoto dentro do banheiro e quando ligamos a banheira saiu resto de produtos que estava na tubulação deixando amarela a banheira. Outra situação que precisamos ligar na parte da noite na recepção, e não fomos atendidos, ligamos 5 vezes, porque tinha acabado papel higiênico e as toalhas estavam muito molhadas e queríamos que trocassem, e compramos um espumante poty e falaram que a gente podia pedir o balde com gelo pra tomarmos de noite dentro do quarto e não fomos atendidos. Mais o lugar vale a pena conhecer pela história, beleza e dedicação a cultura do Paraná.

(Translated by Google) A hidden gem in the heart of Paraná! During a trip to Curitiba, we decided to explore the region and visit Vinícola Araucária, located in the charming Colônia Murici, in São José dos Pinhais. It was one of the best decisions of the trip! The experience begins right on the way, with beautiful and peaceful scenery. Upon arrival, we were greeted with great warmth and organization. We opted for the guided tour, and it was a true immersion into the world of wine—from the vineyards to a thorough explanation of the production process. The structure is modern, well-maintained, and full of details that enhance local wine tourism. The tasting was impeccable: high-quality wines and sparkling wines, with a special mention for the Poty labels, which pay homage to the artist Poty Lazarotto. A beautiful celebration of Paraná culture. Afterward, we had lunch at Restaurante Gralha Azul, inside the winery. A sensational gastronomic experience! Well-prepared dishes, fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and an impressive presentation. All this with views of nature and a very welcoming country atmosphere. The rustic and elegant decor completes the atmosphere, and it feels like home. I also thought it was really cool that the winery supports cultural and artistic initiatives—something that further enriches the visit. If you're in Curitiba or the surrounding area, I highly recommend taking the time to visit Vinícola Araucária. It's a complete experience: nature, culture, good food, good wine, and wonderful memories. We'll definitely be back! 🍷🌿 (Original) Uma joia escondida no coração do Paraná! Durante uma viagem a Curitiba, decidimos explorar a região e visitar a Vinícola Araucária, localizada na charmosa Colônia Murici, em São José dos Pinhais. Foi uma das melhores decisões da viagem! A experiência começa já no trajeto, com uma paisagem linda e tranquila. Ao chegar, fomos recebidos com muita simpatia e organização. Optamos pela visita guiada, e foi um verdadeiro mergulho no universo dos vinhos — desde os vinhedos até a explicação completa do processo de produção. A estrutura é moderna, bem cuidada e cheia de detalhes que valorizam o enoturismo local. A degustação foi impecável: vinhos e espumantes de altíssima qualidade, com destaque para os rótulos Poty, que homenageiam o artista Poty Lazarotto. Uma bela valorização da cultura paranaense. Logo após, almoçamos no Restaurante Gralha Azul, dentro da vinícola. Uma experiência gastronômica sensacional! Pratos muito bem preparados, ingredientes frescos, sabores equilibrados e uma apresentação que impressiona. Tudo isso com vista para a natureza e um ambiente campestre muito acolhedor. A decoração rústica e elegante completa o clima, e a sensação é de estar em casa. Também achei muito legal que a vinícola apoia ações culturais e artísticas — algo que enriquece ainda mais o passeio. Se você está em Curitiba ou nos arredores, recomendo fortemente que reserve um tempo para conhecer a Vinícola Araucária. É um passeio completo: natureza, cultura, boa comida, bons vinhos e ótimas memórias. Com certeza voltaremos! 🍷🌿

(Translated by Google) What an incredible experience! The winery is a true paradise for wine lovers! The tasting was incredible, and the staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. Not to mention the winery's architecture, which is impressive! And the surrounding landscape is simply breathtaking. The wines we tasted at the end were incredible… The quality and flavor were simply exceptional. The winery staff was very professional and explained everything about the winemaking process to us in a clear and interesting way. Ricardo was a top guide! He showed us the winemaking process, and it was very interesting to see how everything is done and how it all began! Congratulations (Original) Que experiência incrível! A vinícola é um verdadeiro paraíso para os amantes de vinho! A degustação foi incrível e a equipe foi muito atenciosa e conhecedora. Fora a arquitetura da vinícola que é impressionante!

A equipe da vinícola foi muito profissional e nos explicou tudo sobre o processo de produção do vinho de forma clara e interessante. O Ricardo foi um guia top!!! Ele nos mostrou o processo de produção do vinho e foi muito interessante ver como tudo é feito e desde quando tudo começou ! Parabéns

(Translated by Google) Getting to the winery is very easy because the road leading from the BR highway is well signposted. Each fork in the road has a sign for the winery. When you arrive, you'll notice it's a really pleasant place. But what caught my attention the most was the service. I was greeted by one of the owners, Mr. Adelar, and you can clearly see that he's someone who loves what he does. He and Beatriz, during the guided tour, were able to show us the history of the winery and how a good wine is made. Speaking of the restaurant, the service continued to be excellent and the food top-notch. I recommend that you visit and leave with your luggage full of memories, knowledge, and bottles of wine. I intend to return there during harvest time to see the laden vines up close. (Original) Para chegar até a vinícola é muito fácil pois é bem sinalizada a estradinha que sai da BR e chega até a lá. Cada bifurcação tem uma placa da vinícola. Chegando lá, nota-se um lugar realmente agradável. Mas o que mais me chamou a atenção foi o atendimento. Fui recepcionado por um dos proprietários, Sr Adelar, dá para ver claramente que é alguém que faz o que gosta. Ele junto com a Beatriz durante a visita guiada conseguiu nos mostrar a história da vinícola e como é feito um bom vinho. Falando sobre o restaurante, o atendimento continuou primoroso e a comida de primeira. Eu recomendo que faça a visita e saia de lá com a bagagem cheia de lembranças, conhecimento e garrafas de vinho. Pretendo voltar lá em época de colheita para ver de perto as parreiras carregadas.

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

Praia Brava de Caiobá is a long and wide sandy beach featuring food and drink kiosks, bathrooms, and a lively boardwalk. The shallow, clean, and slightly choppy waters make it perfect for swimming.

Restaurante Ponte Velha is a must-visit spot in Morretes, offering a glass-walled dining area with air conditioning to escape the intense summer heat. The restaurant provides stunning views of the Nhundiaquara River and the iconic metal bridge, creating a special dining experience. Guests can also enjoy picturesque sights of Pico do Marumbi while savoring their meals.
Great view, plenty of birds chirping around, fantastic staff and delicious food. The portions are humongous.

I had barreado here for the first time ever - as a non-Brazilian - and it was so delicious! Tasty and filling and served with a variety of side dishes and even fried fish. A waiter demonstrated how to mix the stew on your plate. The staff were super friendly. The women's restroom was extremely clean and had a spacious changing area for babies. There were also signs in the bathroom advising women that they could talk to staff (using a code phrase) if they felt unsafe with their dinner companion. What a lovely effort to make women feel safer! I had a great time during my stay and will definitely recommend this place to other travelers.

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.

It's a fishing village that prides itself on its local culture and works to maintain its balance. We spotted various animals such as dolphins, scarlet ibises, crabs, and owls. There are quite a few mosquitoes, of course. So it's important to bring repellent and allergy medication. (Original) Um lugar ainda bastante preservado.

Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Centro Histórico de Cananéia is a charming destination with a variety of restaurant choices. It would be beneficial for the local government to provide incentives for the renovation of all house facades, as this would greatly enhance the overall appearance. The area still manages to maintain its tranquility in today's fast-paced world, making it a worthwhile place to visit. Its historical significance makes it an excellent spot for tours, offering visitors an opportunity to explore its rich heritage.
(Translated by Google) A wealth of history and ancient buildings, hospitable people and the cuisine is distinguished by its seasonings and care. There is a lot of policing and I have heard that crime rates are very low.

(Translated by Google) Unless I'm mistaken, the city dates back to 1531 and the Church of São João Batista dates back to 1577, so it's a beautiful historical heritage site. According to information, at the time the mortar used was made from ground "shells" mixed with whale oil... The properties occupied by restaurants and other businesses are better preserved, obviously. Preservation is expensive, which is why you see so many dilapidated houses in historical places. (Original) Salvo engano, a cidade é de 1531 e a Igreja de São João Batista de 1577, logo, trata-se de um belo patrimônio histórico. Segundo informações, na época a argamassa utilizada era feita com "conchas" moídas misturadas com óleo de baleia... Os imóveis ocupados por Restaurantes e demais comércios são mais conservados, obviamente. Preservar custa caro, por isso se vê tantas casas deterioradas em locais históricos.

Andréia A — Google review
(Translated by Google) Cananéia is a special place, mainly because of its surroundings: the other islands it provides access to, the natural beauty that is visible and can be explored via trails and walks on unpaved roads. Some spots deserve more attention, such as the Fish Market and the area where the produce market is held. Cardoso Island and Comprida Island can be reached by boat, and in the case of the latter, by ferry (you can take your car). Both offer an experience of connecting with nature, with the caiçara tradition, and with dolphins (botos). These friendly animals approach spectators, waiting for their admiration. And this reaction is very quick. Groups of 5, 6, or 8 swim, often just a short distance from the beach or the boat. (Original) Cananéia é um lugar especial, principalmente, pelos seus arredores: as demais ilhas a que dá acesso, às belezas naturais que estão à vista e que podem ser buscadas por meio de trilhas e passeios por estradas sem pavimentação. Merece mais cuidado alguns pontos, como o Mercado de Peixes e a área onde ocorre a feira de produtos hortifrutigranjeiros. A Ilha do Cardoso e a Ilha Comprida é possível ir em barco e, no caso desta última, em balsa (pode-se levar o carro). Ambas são uma experiência de contato com a natureza, com a tradição caiçara e com golfinhos (botos). Esses animais simpáticos se aproximam dos expectadores esperando sua admiração. E essa reação é muito rápida. São grupos de 5, 6, 8 nadando, muitas vezes, à pouca distância da praia ou do barco.

(Translated by Google) The Historic Center of Cananéia is no exception: Many preserved century-old houses are mixed with others that are completely abandoned, but overall, it is a beautiful place to visit. The best option is to walk along the streets, from Av. Beira Mar, passing through Praça Martim Afonso de Souza, Praça da Figueira and historic buildings. If you visit a museum, check the fees and opening hours in advance. (Original) O Centro Histórico de Cananéia não foge à regra: Muitas casas centenárias conservadas misturadas com outras completamente abandonadas, mas no geral, um belo passeio. O ideal é caminhar a pé pelas ruas, desde a Av. Beira Mar, passando pela Praça Martim Afonso de Souza, Praça da Figueira e prédios históricos. Caso visite algum museu, verifique antecipadamente taxas e horários de funcionamento.

(Translated by Google) Charming and very old city center... from the colonial era. You can visit it in half a day. Some parts are preserved and others are in a bad state, but it is worth visiting. There are restaurants there with a variety of flavors, especially seafood. Cananéia needs some investment and more support for tourism... it has potential, but it needs to improve. I keep giving it 5 stars for the local hospitality. (Original) Centro charmoso e bem antigo... da época colonial. É possível conhecer em meio período. Tem partes preservadas e tem outras bem judiadas, mas vale a pena conhecer. Por ali ficam os restaurantes com alguns variados gostos, principalmente com frutos do mar. Cananéia precisa de alguns investimentos e mais apoio para o turismo... tem potencial, mas precisa melhorar. Mantenho 5 estrelas pela hospitalidade local.

Praia do Guaraú is a vast beach enveloped by lush forests and mountains, forming an ecological reserve. Despite occasionally inclement weather, this beach remains a favorite destination. During the summer months, it becomes bustling with visitors and the village teems with activity. However, in the quieter winter season, tourist numbers dwindle significantly. The pristine sands offer an idyllic setting for leisurely walks.
So peaceful and nice! The people are so kind and accepting of everyone!!

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

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!

Costs around R$60 per adult, so a little expensive compared to theme parks abroad for what it is. Seemed somewhat like a fairground (aside from the roller-coaster and log flume), albeit with a theme throughout. My daughter (2 years old) thoroughly enjoyed it though, and it was absolutely ideal for her. We spent about 4 hours there. Kids need to be around 0.80m or above to get the most from all the rides.

I recently visited Parque Villa-Lobos in São Paulo on a rainy Sunday morning for my long run, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! This park is an absolute gem for runners and bikers alike. The 3.5 km / 2.2 mi loop provided the perfect track for my run, with scenic views and well-maintained paths. What's more, the availability of restrooms and a filtered water station made my experience even more convenient. And to top it off, vendors selling fresh coconut water were a delightful treat post-run. Rain or shine, Parque Villa-Lobos is the ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Five stars without a doubt!

Although the organizers underestimated the buzz and amount of people who were really interested on going to the WTA SP OPEN, which made it impossible for us, real WTA tennis fans, to buy all the tickets we wanted as everything was instantly sold, unfortunately, to scalpers, who clearly didn't even passed on all their tickets.... Even so, everything else worked fine, we could see that the organizers really tried to do the best they could for the players and spectators. We had a lot of fun and it was a really great experience seeing our Brazilian tennis idols and other professional players so close! The only thing that got me sad was that we didn't get to see Luiza's game because the court didn't have numbered chairs and it was too crowded!
