Monte Verde is a beloved destination for many, including myself, who has visited seven times in as many years. This charming place offers a variety of activities and attractions that cater to different interests. One of the main draws is its gastronomy, making it an increasingly popular choice for couples seeking a romantic getaway. However, the natural beauty, climate, and hospitality also contribute to its appeal. When planning a trip to Monte Verde, one common question that arises is where to dine.

Vale Sul Shopping
Mentioned on
Shopping mall
Shopping
Vale Sul Shopping is the largest and most diverse shopping center in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil. It offers a wide range of designer stores, boutiques, restaurants, and a cinema. The mall features various brand outlets and segments along with health facilities and a gas station. While it may not be the most budget-friendly for international visitors due to higher prices compared to the U.S., it's still an enjoyable place to explore without making big purchases.
Sorry, I didn't went there. Just used as reference to get the approximate distance until a friend's place near the shopping centre.

I am impressed by the online presence of this shoe repair shop, which effectively highlights its exceptional products and services via various social media platforms. The consistent and engaging content allows customers to stay updated and informed. It's refreshing to see a business utilizing technology to connect with its audience.
Nice shopping mall, with a bit of everything.
Very big food plaza, with lots of options to choose from, the most famous places are in there.
You can find a super market as well as a construction or home renovation store.
You arcade gaming.
They also have a cinema with lots of options of movie to pick.
Lots of places to park your car and sometimes they'll have events happening at the car park.
It's very basic, it's a simple place full of low budget stores. The cinemas are great, but 99% of the movies shown are dubbed in Portuguese. The bowling alley is nice, great place to eat.
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.
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.
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
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.

Mirante Deck do Banhado

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.

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.

Pedra Partida
Mountain peak

Tall, foliage-covered mountain with scenic lookout points & a 1.5-hour hike to the summit.
#top
Janaina C — Google review
Beautiful landscapes
(Translated by Google) The Pico da Pedra Partida is the second highest peak in the Monte Verde region and has a beautiful view of much of the Paraíba Valley.
The access trail has signs and red ribbons on some trees along the way, especially in places where there might be some doubt.
It took us 1 hour to climb the 900m to the top. And on the way back it took us only 40 minutes.
At the top there is a sign indicating the altitude and the name, great for photos.
The downside is that access is restricted by MOVE, which charges R$35.90 per person. This amount could easily be used for a "single pass" with access to the 5 peaks in the region. This would both attract more tourists and raise the funds needed to improve and preserve the site.
(Original)
O Pico da Pedra Partida é o segundo mais alto da região de Monte Verde e tem uma vista muito linda de boa parte do Vale do Paraíba.
A trilha de acesso possui placas indicativas e fitas vermelhas em algumas árvores ao longo do caminho, especialmente nos locais que podem gerar alguma dúvida.
Levamos 1h para subir os cerca de 900mt até o topo. E na volta gastamos apenas 40 min.
No topo há uma placa indicando a altitude e o nome, ótima para foto.
O senão é o acesso restrito pela MOVE que cobra R$35,90/pessoa. Esse valor poderia muito bem servir para um "passe único" com acesso aos 5 picos da região. O que tanto atrairia mais turistas quanto captaria os recursos necessários às melhorias e conservação do local.
(Translated by Google) The scenery is wonderful and worth the effort. The trail is not well marked, but it is possible to follow the path. If you are not physically fit, the trail takes about 2 to 2.5 hours (don't rush to get there) and has complicated and slippery sections.
The trail has 2 viewpoints (close to the final destination). Bring good shoes, water, a shirt and long pants.
I recommend leaving in the morning, preferably before 9 am, to avoid the midday sun at the top of the split rock.
(Original)
Paisagem maravilhosa e vale o esforço. A trilha não é bem sinalizada mas é possível seguir o caminho. Se você não tem preparo físico a trilha leva por volta de 2h - 2h30 (não tenha pressa de chegar) e possui trechos complicados e escorregadios.
A trilha possui 2 mirantes (próximos ao destino final). Vá com um calçado bom, água, uma blusa e calça comprida.
Recomendo sair de manhã, preferencialmente antes das 9, para evitar o sol do meio dia no topo da pedra partida.
(Translated by Google) This is the most difficult trail, as in some places you have to climb some rocks (be prepared to get a little dirty, lol). In some places you can get lost, as the trail is not very well marked (I recommend using a GPS if you go without a guide), but the view is incredible and it is worth the effort.
(Original)
É a trilha mais dificil, pois em alguns pontos tem q escalar algumas pedras (prepare-se para se sujar um pouco rsrs). Em alguns lugares a da pra se perder, pois a trilha nao esta muito sinalizada (recomendo ir com GPS caso for sem um guia) porém é uma vista incrivel, vale a pena o esforço.
(Translated by Google) The trail is a bit long, with some complicated and steep sections, older people and small children are not advised, in some places you have to climb, and there are many sharp rocks, but nothing that cannot be done, only the strong survive!! It is worth it, stunning views!!
(Original)
Caminho um pouco longo, com alguns trechos mais complicados e íngremes, pessoas de mais idade e crianças pequenas, não é muito aconselhado, alguns locais, tem que escalar, e muitas pedras pontiagudas, mas nada que não possa ser feito, só os fortes sobrevivem!! Vale a pena, vista deslumbrante!!
(Translated by Google) Spectacular place. The trail is medium to difficult. Follow the yellow ribbons and you can't go wrong.
(Original)
Lugar espetacular. A trilha é de média para difícil. Acompanhem as fitas amarelas que não tem erro.
(Translated by Google) This trail is a little more difficult than Pedra Rodada, which has stairs and is very short! I don't recommend doing this trail if you have mobility problems, because at times you'll need a little physical strength to get through certain steep and narrow spots... The trail is well marked and not very well marked, with signs at some points and two really cool viewpoints along the way, to recharge your batteries and admire nature! It's possible to get there without any major problems, because during the holiday season, there are always people going to or coming back from the same place as you... If possible, choose to do this trail while there's daylight and good weather, because it's a 40 to 50 minute walk from the fork that separates the Pedra Rodada/Ronda trails. Unmissable! People who give this trail a bad review must not be physically fit and/or may have gone alone... From Pedra Rodada, the second highest point in the region, you can see Pedra Rodada, which was FULL the day I visited!
(Original)
Trilha com grau de dificuldade pouco mais elevado que a pedra redonda, que tem escadas e é bem curta! Não recomendo fazer essa trilha, se tiver algum problema de mobilidade, pois em alguns momentos é necessário pouco de força física para passar por determinados pontos íngremes e estreitos... A trilha está bem demarcada e pouco sinalizada, com placas em alguns pontos e dois mirantes bem legais no caminho, para reabastecer a energia e contemplar a natureza! É possível chegar sem grandes problemas, pois em temporada de férias, sempre existem pessoas indo ou voltando para o mesmo local que você... Se possível, opte por fazer essa trilha enquanto há luz do dia e com tempo firme, pois são 40 a 50 minutos à partir da bifurcação que separa as trilhas da pedra partida/redonda. Imperdivel! As pessoas que avaliam mal essa trilha, não devem ter preparo físico nenhum e/ou podem ter ido sozinhas... Da pedra partida, segunda mais alta da região, você consegue ver a pedra redonda que estava LOTADA no dia em que visitei!

Unger’s Pottery House is a spacious 3,000 square meter gallery showcasing the ceramic art of Paula Unger and other contemporary Brazilian artists. The indoor and outdoor spaces are adorned with a variety of artistic pieces, making for a delightful exploration. Visitors can admire and purchase unique pottery items, such as the charming pot set that I acquired during my visit. The serene garden area adds to the allure of this place, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush greenery and colorful blooms.
Nice pottery and art pieces; we ended up with some nice purchases. Very good service and atmosphere.
Marcin W — Google review
The day we've been there, there was some good sales. We bought a pot set made by ceramic and signed by Miss Unger. It worths to keep liquids like soups warm for a while. The place is pretty much cozy: loads of trees and small flowered bushes . When we got there we spent a lot of time looking around the pleasant garden site seen. I've found at least one problem in there. There's no cafeteria or a place to have some snack and rest the bones.
Entrance is free and the local guide is very friendly. We do recommend.

(Translated by Google) The best visit I've ever had in Monte Verde! The house is stunningly beautiful, the artwork is wonderful, the nature is enchanting... It's definitely worth it! We just went to visit, and the lady who welcomed us made us feel completely at ease. We were the only visitors at the time we went, so I was able to see everything at my own pace. The experience was absolutely worth it, even though we didn't buy anything.
(Original)
A melhor visita que fiz em Monte Verde! A casa é linda demais, as obras maravilhosas, a natureza encantadora… Vale muito a pena! Fomos apenas para visitar e a moça que nos recepcionou nos deixou super à vontade. Só tinha a gente de visitante no horário que fomos. Então, pude ver tudo com calma. Valeu demais a experiência, apesar de não ter comprado nada.
(Translated by Google) The place is beautiful and well-maintained, the artwork and the surroundings are a bit reminiscent of a wing of Inhotim.
There are products for all budgets, and it's nice that it's open to the public free of charge. There's a staff member on duty at all times, but that's normal. She helps answer questions and keeps an eye on things, as there are several small, high-value items, including gold. So if you go, avoid carrying a backpack and touching the artwork.
Now, there are two downsides: there's not much information about parking. It's like a gated community, so you don't know if you're allowed in. The street isn't the widest, and there could be more parking information.
And finally, I know it's not just the establishment's fault, but the dirt road to get there is terrible. They should ask the city to improve these access points. Imagine on rainy days...
(Original)
O local é bonito e bem cuidado, as obras e o local lembram um pouco como se fosse uma ala de Inhotim.
Tem produtos para todos os bolsos e é legal ele ser aberto gratuitamente ao público. Fica uma atendente acompanhando o público o tempo todo, mas é normal, ajuda a tirar dúvidas e fica de olho, pois tem vários itens pequenos de grande valor, inclusive itens de ouro. Por isso se for, evite levar mochila e ficar tocando nas obras.
Agora fica 2 pontos negativos, não tem muita informação para estacionar, tem uma espécie de condomínio, você não sabe se pode entrar, a rua não é das mais largas, poderia ter mais informação de estacionamento.
E por fim, sei que não é culpa apenas do estabelecimento, mas o caminho de terra para chegar é terrível, tem que exigir da prefeitura para melhorar estes acessos. Imagina em dias de chuva…

Daniel T — Google review
This park is absolutely beautiful. We spent a few hours here, exploring. Then we had lunch at the restaurant at the end and it was wonderful.
Such a beautiful place with kind-hearted staff! I’m not a local and didn’t know that they only accept cash and Pix, and since my card was international they couldn’t accept it. The girl selling tickets let me in for free and covered my parking as well. Such a simple yet kind act, it was genuinely the highlight of my day! The plants and gardens were beautiful, and I felt very peaceful afterwards. I would recommend this place to everyone!
The place is gorgeous, but quite expensive for full ticket payers. The visit lasts around 1.5h
This park was absolutely beautiful and worth the 40 Reis entrance fee. The gardens were all well-maintained. The views of the surrounding valleys were spectacular. 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.
They have good tree house.. and nice place to take a walk with family, unfortunately every garden doesn’t really represent the country mentioned. Only Japanese garden and Chinese garden that bit represent their own country.
Absolutely wonderful botanical gardens. The location is amazing, with plenty of beautiful scenery. From the treehouse to hedge maze, there is a lot to occupy half a day. I was impressed with how well it was maintained and the variety of plants. The price was reasonable for what you get to see. Also, there is a student discount if you show your student ID. Highly recommend Amantikir Park; it is a must see if you are in the area.
Here was one of the most beautiful botanical park where I have visited ever.
We can identify that they respect nature.
Even kid can enjoy and have fun here.
In addition, we can see beautiful mountains view from here.

Sights & Landmarks
Architectural Buildings
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.
Henrique O — Google review
Can't rate it completely as we didn't get a chance to get inside. I suggest you arrive earlier as there are only 30 free tickets available every 30mins.
Its a really nice place, it was colder than the usual places in SP.
The security was also really nice to let us take a photo with him.
Watch out for the timing. The place is mostly closed and has a restricted entrance up to 30 people every 30 minutes. It closes if there's rain or the street is wet. It's very hard to coordinate. To avoid completely wasting your time , the auditorium down the road is very pleasant and has a sculpture garden.
Entry tickets are handed out twice a day, first come, first served. 10am is the first ticket hand-out, and 2pm is the second. Only 18 people can enter per group and stay in for 30 minutes tops.
Nice the palace is like a French chatu of the 17th century is a copy I would say but the system is not very efficient to take visits as you have to go in person should be via internet like all other places in the town are this makes it difficult to visit and becomes a poor quality service and poor efficiency in today's days.
This place is interesting and beautiful. I recommend if you have time.
They were out of tickets so I couldn’t visit. I guess one needs to grab the tickets in advance.

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.

Pretty nice. Though very crowded, it is free to visit.
One of the wonderful of Campos do Jordao. Good place to come and wonder around the cascades.
Great for a few photos with your partner.
Free entry.
Quite touristic, but hey - why not? It's a nice stop for some photos. ❤️
This is a traditional place to visit in Campos do Jordão. This is not unique, but it's OK. You can take some funny pictures there.

We did not find any actual trails to hike, which would have been nice and would have gotten us away from the crowds. There is parking but it was pretty full when we were there.

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the charming village of São Luiz e Santo Antonio do Paraitinga, which dates back to 1769, the Igreja Matriz Paróquia São Luís de Tolosa stands as a testament to resilience and history. After suffering significant damage from devastating floods in 2010, this beautiful church was meticulously reconstructed to preserve its original features. Visitors can also explore nearby landmarks like the Igreja do Rosário perched on a hill and the quaint Capela Nossa Senhora das Mercês.

(Translated by Google) It's incredible how it was restored after the tragic flooding caused by heavy rains and the flooding of the Paraitinga River, which devastated the city. I was in Ubatuba and it was chaos on the way back. But it passed and the Church is beautiful!

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful church, with its history of reconstruction that enriches it even more. Inside the church you can see what remains of the old building. Some things have been preserved, but much of it has been faithfully restored to the original.

It’s the centre of attraction of the city, a very lovely place with different activities that you can engage in. Feel free to go there to take pictures even if you can’t afford to pay for boat rides & other activities there. It’s very close to capivari where you can eat and take different pictures with their colour full backgrounds
Very nice place, families enjoying, good sort of food to choose, and beer.
There was live music show, really nice

Very nice place and the first you have to visit in Campos do Jordão. Try the beers that are sold near the bathrooms and the delicious churros. Take the ferry for a great view.
It's a family friendly place, but very touristy. Meaning things area expensive and mass target.
Nevertheless it's a great place for little kids to run around and enjoy themselves while grownups enjoy a craft (but little expensive) beer.
Main square of Campos do Jordão city.
There you will find hotels, restaurants, bars, ice cream parlor, handcrafted chocolates, clothing shops and warehouses that sells wines, beers and kinds of canned food.
In the winter season there is the winter festival on the main square. In this occasion orchestras and shows are being presented to the visitors.
That's a amazing, romanctic, family and all the best adjectives place, but the prices are high coast.

Scenic spot

Morro do Elefante is a must-visit spot offering breathtaking city and mountain views. Accessible by road or cable car, the hilltop terrace provides an incredible panoramic view of the entire tourist center. The cable car ride is a popular choice for reaching the top, where visitors can enjoy the stunning scenery and even return for a second visit. Standing at 1800 meters above sea level, this location offers an adrenaline-pumping experience with its elephant trunk-like curvature.
Awesome place to watch the sunset with life music
They have a cable car that connects to the park at the bottom
During Christmas the lights are espetacular
Daniel T — Google review
It was a silly place but fun for our kid and we took lots of pictures. The photographer in there was really nice and only charged us R$5 per adult to take photos of us by the sign and even did a video with snow falling. We enjoyed that!
Overlooking Campos do jordoan, beautiful European style town right in brazil. You can take a "ski lift" type ride up or down to the overlook. Couple of little shops and food vendors so you can spend a little extra time enjoying the view. The photos are what so much of the home, hotels, shops and restaurants are like.
It was OK but not that much of a thing to see
you have to pay to get a good photo photo it was around 5reais
The cable car is not working now so if you want to try the cable car you have to wait-a-bit more
It's also not easy to park
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.
Overall a very nice place. The cable car looked a bit outdated and you definitely shouldn't be afraid of heights haha. But you are rewarded at the end with a beautiful view! :)

Guilherme S — Google review
A nice park to walk around. There are several short hikes. We really enjoyed Trilha dos campos (3km), which takes you up to good views and also winds along the river for a stretch. The trail to the waterfall was much more crowded and more of a road than a trail. Overall, the park itself was very crowded excepting Trilha dos Campos. It is possible to access by bus or uber and you do have to pay to enter.
It's a lovely place where you can admire nature... A lot of Araucárias, native fauna, and flora. Well, breathtaking! A must-see sightseeing in Campos do Jordão
Very beautiful and always improving. Great staff.
Four stars for the capybaras only. The “Lagos” were dirty ponds and every attraction offered was serious $$$$.
Beautiful place, very well conserved with detailed maintainance.
The park is an environmental reserve.
Activities: there are trails with different kinds of difficulty and length.
There are food trucks during the peak of the season, however there are two places that serves food all year.
There are activities for children too and playgrounds.
There is bike rent and a shop with handcrafted materials made of wood.
A beautiful free range park with several hiking trails.
Great place to hiking.

The National Sanctuary of Our Lady of Aparecida, inaugurated in 1980 and renovated in 2017, is the largest Catholic evangelization center in Brazil. It attracts around 13 to 14 million tourists annually.
Very impressive place to visit and walk around. Even if you don’t come for a pilgrimage, it is worth while to come and make it a tourist visit.
It was quite busy even though it was weekday
Philipp L — Google review
This was an absolutely stunning Basilica. The second largest in the world only the Vatican is larger. The stone murals were beautiful along with everything else ..a must see.
Will definitely go back there one day. This is worth visiting.
The most breathing cathedral in Brazil, the spiritually makes you feel the amazing atmosphere that surrounds us. It is almost impossible not to feel better after your visit to this sacred place.
Considered the second biggest Catholic Temple of the world (after San Pedro Temple in Vatican) and the biggest in Brazil. Beautiful religious place with plenty of infrastructure to accommodate faithful from all places and renew their vows
It was bigger than o ever imagined. It’s like an entire city, it takes hours to walk around and be able to appreciate every detail. Lots of stores inside and restaurants. With the Covid-19 restrictions, we couldn’t see more of the inside details but it was worth it. They have mass every hour and multiple locations as well. I loved it. 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.
This should be included in the must visit places in Brazil. The cathedral is huge and very beautiful. The dome ia decorated with paintings of Brazilian fauna. The sacred image of the Holly Mary, which was found by locals and is attributed to several miracles, is exposed there. The energy of this place is hard to describe.
This is beautiful place especially for Catholics. As per wiki this is the 2nd largest church in the world. It is a 3 hr drive from SP and is a really beautiful drive I would recommend anyone who is religious to visit this place, it gives a holy perspective to the trip. As Brasil is a catholic country expect this place to be very crowded..

Air Bontur cable cars provide a convenient and comfortable way to reach Cruzeiro Hill, a place of meditation in the Stations of the Cross. The individual and air-conditioned cable cars offer fantastic views of Aparecida and the Sanctuary. Visitors highly recommend this organized and safe experience, praising its efficiency and privacy. While some feel that prices could be more accessible, many still find it to be an excellent attraction at the Sanctuary for a unique ride on the cable car.

(Translated by Google) It was a really fun family outing, with a really beautiful view of the sanctuary and the city. There was a line, but it was really quick. 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.

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.

Unfortunately I couldn't get inside cos it was close but it's beautiful architecture
It's beautiful, but there are a lot of people...
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!*

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.
(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.

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).

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.

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)

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!

O passeio é bem gostoso e tranquilo de fazer. No caminho há várias paisagens lindas para tirar fotos.

Fiz no horário das 10hs na segunda-feira de Carnaval.

(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.

(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.

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.

St. Lawrence Water Park
Mentioned on
Park
Nature & Parks
St. Lawrence Water Park is a serene resort with mineral waters, beautiful gardens, and various sports facilities. Visitors can enjoy the calm atmosphere, take leisurely walks, and have peaceful conversations while admiring the lovely nature and interacting with ducks at the lake. The park offers different types of mineral spring water from distinct fountains, each with its own unique taste and health benefits. It is well-managed and provides good services such as those offered by the house of Bath.
It is a very beautiful area in the center of the city with a wonderful pond and nature area. You need to buy a ticket at the entrance but there are many options.
There are many different animals and fruits inside.
There are also natural spring waters that are only available in two places in the world (the other is in France), you can fill your bottle and drink (7 different sources & 9 different water sources)
You can also rent pedal or motorized water vehicles here or use walking balloons.
You can spend hours in this huge park and have a pleasant time listening to nature.
There are also some playgrounds and cafeterias.
If you pass by, I recommend you to visit, the heart of the city ♥️🇧🇷🌴

Beautiful water park, it has some small disadvantages.
I really like that the park is wel maintained and looks good. However, for a water park the water fountains are sometimes a bit far apart. Also, this park has many water fountains with extremely metallic flavours.
The park has many nice places to sit and relax to enjoy the beauty of the water park.
The park has a restaurant, but that restaurant is not good, so I would not go.
Parking is difficult close to the water park. Infront you can just park for teo hours, so you have to park further away.
Inside there are also some nice shops with sweets and even an art gallery.
For kids there are plenty of places to play in the park. The park consists out of two areas that are connected by a tunnel. The older park is more beautiful in my opinion.
You can also rent several types of boats to go on the lake.
Compared to other water parks you can not go out for lunch and come back with the same ticket. This is different from the English description at the entrance that clearly says that you just have to pay once per day, but that is not true.
Overall, it is a great place to visit but with some small negative points.
Nice park with educational and fun exhibits, well worth the time.
What a peaceful place, full of faith, nice people, all kinds of trees, birds, monkeys and everything else that makes us happy. It could be a poem. And the waters and it's properties to help health, just a must.
A beautiful and very organized park. It was interesting experience to taste different types of water there. If you are in this area, definitely a worthy place to visit.
Beautiful place, fun activities for the whole family,.and the water fountains are one of a kind
Legal 😃
The park has a lot of leisure opportunities and offers good services. It is notable for how it is so well managed.
I recommend this to anyone that wants to spend hours in contact with nature, silence, and enjoy good services like those offered by the house of Bath.

From there you can get Isidro's downfall, but hard access to get the pool and beach
Show
(Translated by Google) A place of preserved nature, with beautiful waterfalls and easy access, with Poço das Garrafas being the closest to the entrance. Perfect for swimming on hot summer days. I got to the parking lot in a normal car (not a 4x4). The road from S. José do Barreiro could be in better condition, but I've seen worse! Lol
(Original)
Lugar de natureza preservada, com cachoeiras lindas e acesso facilitado, sendo o Poço das Garrafas o mais próximo à portaria. Perfeito para banhos nos dias quentes de verão Cheguei até o estacionamento com carro normal (sem ser 4x4). Estrada a partir de S. José do Barreiro poderia estar em melhores condições, mas já vi piores! Rs
(Translated by Google) The place is well signposted until you reach the entrance, but on the day we went there was no one at the entrance. After a while of reading the signs to find out how to get to the Santo Izidro waterfall, a guy appeared with a clipboard, asked where we were going and gave us some instructions. If you enter and there is no one to give you information about the waterfall, just follow the trail and enter. Right in front of you there will be a sign with an arrow "Mambucaba trail of gold". Take this access and go along the river.
(Original)
O local é bem sinalizado até chegar a entrada, mas no dia que fomos não tinha ninguém na portaria, depois de um tempo que ficamos lendo as placas pra saber como chegar na cachoeira Santo Izidro, apareceu um rapaz com uma prancheta, perguntou onde íamos e passou algumas instruções. Se alguém entrar e não tiver alguém para passar informações sobre a cachoeira é só seguir a trilha e entrar, logo a frente terá uma placa com seta "Mambucaba trilha do ouro" pega esse acesso e vai beirando ao Rio.
(Translated by Google) Created in the 1970s, the preservation area covers one hundred thousand hectares between the Mantiqueira and Mar mountain ranges, with 60% of the territory in Rio de Janeiro (Parati and Angra dos Reis) and 40% in São Paulo (Areias, Cunha, São José do Barreiro and Ubatuba). Throughout the area, the beauty of the flora and fauna typical of the Atlantic Forest is striking. There are orchids, bromeliads, jequitibás and fig trees sharing the landscape with toucans, tapirs, agoutis, sloths and deer, among other native species. The mountain range also holds other pleasant surprises, such as waterfalls with drops reaching one hundred meters in height; peaks over two thousand meters in altitude that reveal hills and the sea; and the Trilha do Ouro, a 40-kilometer trail that ends at the beach. The park can be explored on foot, by bicycle, motorcycle or car - however, to enter with motorized vehicles you need authorization from Ibama. Activities vary according to the visitor's physical fitness - options range from light 40-minute walks to three-day treks, requiring overnight stays in settlers' houses or wild campsites.

Criado na década de 70, a área de preservação soma cem mil hectares entre as serras da Mantiqueira e do Mar, com 60% do território no Rio de Janeiro (Parati e Angra dos Reis) e 40% em São Paulo (Areias, Cunha, São José do Barreiro e Ubatuba). Por toda a área chamam a atenção as belezas da flora e da fauna típicas da Mata Atlântica. São orquídeas, bromélias, jequitibás e figueiras dividindo o cenário com tucanos, antas, cutias, preguiças e veados, entre outras espécies nativas. A serra reserva ainda outras agradáveis surpresas, como as cachoeiras com quedas que chegam a cem metros de altura; picos com mais de dois mil metros de altitude que descortinam morros e mar; e a Trilha do Ouro, um caminho de 40 quilômetros que termina na praia. O parque pode ser explorado a pé, de bicicleta, moto ou carro - porém, para entrar com os veículos motorizados é preciso autorização do Ibama. As atividades variam de acordo com o preparo físico do visitante - as opções vão de caminhadas leves com 40 minutos de duração à travessias que consomem três dias, exigindo pernoites em casas de colonos ou em campings selvagens.

Nature & Parks
Park
Itatiaia National Park, Brazil's first national park, boasts a diverse range of landscapes from dense rainforests to rugged peaks. The lower section offers accessible trails leading to waterfalls and natural swimming holes, while the remote high country provides excitement for serious hikers and climbers. Visitors can enjoy abundant flora and fauna including orchids, monkeys, and tropical birds. Accessing the upper portion may require a high-clearance vehicle due to challenging roads.
Wonderful national park at Itataia. It's possible to visit the park on foot, bike or by car. Visitors entering the park by car must pay an extra fee (around R$ 24,00) to take it's paved and non paved roads on a motored vehicle. The activities available at the park for visitors range from a beautiful cultural centre with many historical highlights, track trails in a rich forest terrain, magnificent waterfalls to admire and freshen up, numerous bird watching spots, and exuberant viewpoints of the Mantiqueira Mountain and it's wildlife. The difficulty of tracks may vary a lot. Upon entry on the park, visitors are given a detailed map, which shows what's possible to do whilst visiting the site. The park is basically divided into a lower and an upper part. The most demanding tracks, which are also those that one needs to plan in advance, are located in the upper part of park. In those areas, it's possible to camp on designated areas or stay for the night at one of the park's lodging houses (reservation in advance needed). In the park's website, there are lots of information for visitors, and high definition pdf maps for downloading, as well as a list of well trained guides on the park whenever the need arises. It's not possible to park in any spot by the road, the permitted parking areas will be sign posted. All around the park, it's possible to see restaurants, hotels and other private properties, which means there's no time available to do everything you'll find at the park. It's a highly recommended visit, and a place not to forget.

Absolutely beautiful! Had a great time, at Base & Altar, all clean ann orderly, a LOT of families and kids. Great job!
Amazing experience in the middle of nature
Always when I visit this place I get impressed. There are wonderful views from everywhere. During my last visit I took the trail called Rancho Caído, which was amazing!
A completely different environment if you use the north west entrance. Warning the 12km road can be very bad. Warning 2: Arrive early the last entrance is around 2pm. You must leave the park by 5pm. This may change during they year so it is best to chemo in advance.
Wonderful view. Worth the long walking. Be prepared physically.
Incredible!! Didn’t have time for the entire park, but the southern entrance waterfalls and jungle is absolutely wonderful. Not a single thing to not love ❤️❤️

(Translated by Google) The waterfall itself is really cool, with different spots with pools and waterfalls. I went on the first weekend of winter and at 2pm the sun was already gone.
There are restaurants and private parking next to the waterfall (we paid 25.00).
Note: I went on a holiday and it was really crowded. We waited 40 minutes for a space to appear in the parking lot.

A cachoeira em si é bem legal, tem diferentes pontos com piscina e queda d'água. Fui no primeiro fds de inverno e às 14h já não tinha sol.
Ao lado da cachoeira tem restaurantes e estacionamento privado (pagamos 25,00)
Obs: fui no feriado e estava bem cheio. Ficamos 40min aguardando surgir vaga no estacionamento.
(Translated by Google) Such a beautiful place!
Access isn't difficult; my car is a Palio and I made it up without any trouble! But the road is unpaved, so be careful.
I thought the parking was expensive, but since it's a tourist attraction, we end up paying...
The waterfall is beautiful and you can visit several points! Definitely worth a visit!

The Slide Waterfall really provides an experience of sliding down the rock in the middle of the river.
Apparently safe, children and adults can have a lot of fun.
Parking costs 20.00, with no option to park on the street.
Several restaurants and bars along the way, as well as street vendors.
Even though there is no slide, the place is very cool to enjoy nature.
You can go up the river quite a bit before the waterfall, it is worth exploring

Excellent place to go and stay the whole day. Amazing waterfalls and hiking. We went all the way to the top and what an amazing view.
Quite a climb, but well worth it, especially the smaller cachoeiras on the way up.
Very nice, short hike. You can swim in 8/9 of the waterfalls. Worth a visit.
