Cássia L — Google review
(Translated by Google) A divine place, of prayers, of gratitude to Our Lady. Congratulations on the organization in October 2021. Advance booking, colored wristbands for each time, a line to enter without rushing, and yes, there were benches. For the first time, I sat down and watched the mass without the adrenaline of whether or not I would be able to stand among the people, in the aisles. May you continue to organize in the coming years, it was very good. Yes, we have to think about the pilgrims, about people without internet access. During my 11 am time slot, Father Romão came, with an excellent homily, explaining the biblical readings, talking about the importance of women in the church, emphasizing Esther and Mary, for their boldness, for their confrontation making history. He told the story of this church, which was the second in Londrina. The reflection of Christian churches, and talking about trips to cities with only one Christian church, without priests, coordinated by nuns. Thank you, Father, for making me different with these words, leading me to a great reflection on life. On the appreciation and boldness of women, strengthening us even more for our daily lives. On this day, listening to these words, I will give my testimony of the miracle of life, with my first son, he survived, and it is a miracle, through prayer with the rosary in hand. Our Lady of Aparecida, pray for us, for Brazil and the whole world. #carmelu #sanctuaryoftheladyoftheday #ourlady #ourladyoftheday #12october2021 (Original) Um lugar divino, de orações, de gratidão a nossa Mãe Nossa Senhora. Parabéns pela organização neste outubro de 2021. Agendamento antecipado, pulseiras coloridas para cada horário, fila para entrar sem correrias, teve banco sim. Pela primeira vez sentei e assisti a missa sem a adrenalina se ia conseguir ou não, ficar no meio do povo, nos corredores. Que nos próximos anos continuem a organizar, foi muito bom. Sim temos que pensar no romeiros, nas pessoas sem acesso á internet. No meu horário das 11horas, foi o Padre Romão, com uma excelente homilia, explicou as leituras bíblicas, falou sobre a importância das mulheres na igreja, enfatizou Ester e Maria, pela ousadia, do enfrentamento fazendo história. Contou a história desta igreja que foi a segunda de Londrina. A reflexão das igrejas cristãs, e falando de viagens com cidades com uma única igreja cristã, sem padres, coordenados por freiras. Obrigada Padre, por fazer-me diferente nestas palavras, me levando uma grande reflexão da vida. Da valorização e ousadia das mulheres, nos fortalecendo mais ainda para o dia a dia. Neste dia, ouvindo estas palavras, vou fazer meu testemunho de milagre da vida, com meu primeiro filho, ele sobreviveu, e é um milagre, através da oração com o terço na mão. Nossa Senhora Aparecida rogai por nós, pelo Brasil e o mundo inteiro. #carmelu #santuarionossasenhoraaparecida #nossasenhora #nossasenhoraaparecida #12deoutubrode2021

Amazing, peaceful, magical and mesmerising. I am very sure Jesus can clearly see and listen to his all true devotees there.

The architecture might seem strange at first sight, but the inside is beautiful, mostly carved in wood. I like to go on Sunday morning for the 10:30 am mass, because they play organ (a simple one, but still, amazing) and there is the elderly coral. I feel good inside the cathedral.

I love this place. I never get skunked here. I've caught 3 peacock bass (tucunaré), 3 piranhas, and one tilapia. The water is clean, the scenery is pleasant, and it's always fairly peaceful on the lake. My only gripe is that they're isn't a single public restroom.

Salto do Apucaraninha

Waterfall
Nature & Parks
Salto do Apucaraninha, an awe-inspiring natural wonder, stands tall at 119 meters in height. Despite its remote location, approximately 25 kilometers of unpaved road must be traversed to reach this majestic waterfall. The journey takes visitors through the heart of an indigenous village and grants access to a restricted area owned by Copel. Nevertheless, all entrance routes remain accessible to the public without any restrictions.
Great place!
Iomar1993 — Google review
(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful waterfalls I visited in Brazil. Easy access via GPS until reaching the Copel power plant area; I went in a low car. I came from Londrina and passed through Tamarana. Upon entering the power plant area, there is a viewpoint before the bridge, and after the bridge, a small trail to see the waterfall from another angle. I passed through the indigenous reserve and had no problems with the indigenous people. NOTE: drive slowly through the indigenous reserve, respect the indigenous people, nature, and Copel's instructions. (Original) Um dos saltos mais bonitos que visitei no Brasil. Acesso tranquilo pelo GPS até chegar na área da usina da Copel, fui com carro baixo. Vim de Londrina e passei por Tamarana. Ao entrar na área da usina, há um mirante antes da ponte, e depois da ponte uma pequena trilha para ver o salto de outro ângulo. Passei pela reserva indígena, não tive problema com os índios. OBS: passar devagar com o carro na reserva indígena, respeitar os índios, a natureza e as orientações da Copel.

(Translated by Google) The view is incredible, the only problem is getting there, it's not a pleasant journey on the dirt and cobblestone roads. I went by motorcycle, it was cool but not without consequences. Due to the vibrations I lost my license plate and bent the rack on the trunk. Maybe it would work better with taller motorcycles. But the place is beautiful, it doesn't have any infrastructure, but for those who like adventure it's worth the effort. (Original) A vista é incrível, o único problema é chegar lá, não é um trajeto agradável de se fazer na estrada de terra e de paralelepípedo. Eu fui de moto , foi legal mas, não sem consequências. Com as vibrações perdi minha placa e entortei o suporte do baú. Talvez com motos mais altas funcione melhor. Mas o lugar é bonito, não tem estrutura alguma mas, para quem gosta de aventura vale o esforço.

And it enters a restricted area of ​​Copel, but all access is free. (Original) Lugar incrível, pena ser longe em media 25km de estrada de chão, aí passa no meio da aldeia dos índios.

(Translated by Google) The Alameda Rodoserv Center has been a stopping point for travelers in the area for many years. It is located on the Marechal Rondon highway and is easily accessible. Over the years, it has expanded its area of ​​operation, and it seems that it is now also a space for events. The bathrooms are good, and there is a reasonable amount of coffee shop and restaurant, but what leaves something to be desired is the service, which seems to be completely indifferent to the customer (we ordered at Café com Sal)! Other than that, it is undoubtedly a good place. (Original) O Alameda Rodoserv Center há muitos anos serve de parada para quem está viajando por aquela região,localizado às margens da rodovia Marechal Rondon é de fácil acesso. Ao longo dos anos expandiu sua área de atuação, me parece que hoje é também espaço para eventos. Os banheiros são bons,e existe uma quantidade razoável de cafeteria e restaurante,porém o que deixa a desejar é o atendimento, que parece ser totalmente indiferente ao cliente( fizemos pedidos no Café com Sal)! No mais,sem dúvida é um bom espaço.

It's exactly 12:48 and the orders haven't come out yet, I went to complain and they still laughed and said I was in line. Several people went ahead of me. It has improved (09/09/2023), but it is still below the Rodoserv chain in Castelo Branco, as well as the Graal chain.

The ecological park Horto Florestal Avare, spanning 95 hectares, includes a visitor center, an artificial lake, and public toilets. It is regarded as the premier location in town for leisurely strolls. With numerous kilometers of pathways meandering through picturesque forests and landscapes, visitors can immerse themselves in the natural beauty that surrounds them.

Best place in town for a walk. Several km of tracks, all surrounded by beautiful forest/ landscapes. Native animals can be eventually seen along the way. Reserve a couple of hours to enjoy it.

(Translated by Google) Great place to enjoy nature and history with family and friends. From what I understand, there are also options for hiking and biking. They have an Instagram page to keep up with the information. We just think they could improve the cleaning of the firebreaks/roads, the streets inside where the houses are, etc., due to the price that is being charged to enter. Adults and children over 12 years old pay! The price is currently R$15.00 per person (probably subject to change at any time), and they do not accept Pix or cards, only cash.

Só achamos que podem melhorar na limpeza de aceiros/ estradas, as ruas ali dentro onde estão as casas e tal, devido ao valor que está sendo pago pra entrar. Paga adultos e crianças acima de 12 anos! O valor atualmente está a R$15,00 por pessoa (provavelmente podendo ser alterado a qualquer momento), e não aceitam pix nem cartão, apenas dinheiro.

(Translated by Google) A trip back in time, impressive buildings, a great place to stroll. It's a spacious area with many trails. Great place for picnics (be careful of the star tick). Food options are only in a small cafeteria. Admission is R$15.00 per person (cash only). It's worth it. (Original) Uma viagem ao passado, construções impressionantes, ótimo lugar para passear. Local amplo e com muitas trilhas. Ótimo lugar para piqueniques (tomando cuidado com o carrapato estrela). Opção para comida somente uma pequena cantina. Entrada R$ 15,00 por pessoa (somente dinheiro). Vale a pena.

(Translated by Google) Fazenda Ipanema is an incredible place for those who love being in touch with nature! Located close to Sorocaba, the environment is perfect for running, walking and moments of peace amidst history and greenery. Every time I go there, I feel renewed by the energy of the place, with its enchanting trails and fresh air. Just a tip: bring insect repellent and be aware of ticks to enjoy the tour safely. It is definitely worth a visit! (Original) A Fazenda Ipanema é um lugar incrível para quem ama estar em contato com a natureza! Localizada pertinho de Sorocaba, o ambiente é perfeito para corridas, caminhadas e momentos de paz em meio à história e ao verde.

Só fica a dica: leve repelente e fique atento aos carrapatos para aproveitar o passeio com segurança. Vale muito a pena conhecer!

(Translated by Google) Great for learning a bit about the history of the Iron Race that took place in Brazil. There's a historic center and plenty of areas to explore. Four cataloged trails allow for picnics, and there's a small cafe with a few options. Admission is CASH ONLY: 15 full price and 7.50 half price. The dam is beautiful, as are the monuments. Take your time, as there's plenty to explore. Restrooms and rest areas are available. It's a journey back in time. With the rocky paths. (Original) Ótimo, para conhecer um pouco da História da Corrida Do Ferro q ocorreu no Brasil tem centro Histórico e muitas áreas para explorar 4 trilhas catalogadas, possível fazer piqueniques tem uma cafeteira pequena mais com algumas opções. Entrada SOMENTE DINHEIRO EM ESPÉCIE 15 inteira e meia 7,50 A represa é linda e os monumentos também. Va com tempo pois tem muita coisa para explorar. Banheiros e locais para descanso. E Uma viagem ao passado. Com as estritas em pedras.

(Translated by Google) It is a very interesting place, full of history. Unfortunately, like other historical treasures we have, it deserves to be better looked after and receive more investment. Even so, it is well worth a visit. You need to schedule a guided tour. The people who work there really enjoy what they do. Check the page published by ICMBio for important information in advance. Afterwards, it is worth stopping by the Cacau Show superstore on the road. (Original) É um lugar interessantíssimo, cheio de história. Lamentavelmente, como outros tesouros históricos que temos, merecia ser mais bem tratado, ter mais investimentos. Mesmo assim, vale muito a visita. É preciso agendar a visita guiada. O pessoal que trabalha no local gosta mesmo do que faz. Consulte a página publicada pelo ICMBio para ter informações antecipadas importantes. Depois, vale uma passadinha na super loja da Cacau Show na estrada.

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

Square Exaggeration is a remarkable tourist attraction that features an expansive park adorned with gigantic replicas of various objects, such as a chess board, pencils, and even ants. This public park stands out due to its unique sculptures, displaying the city's distinctive character. However, one minor drawback is that the maze could be improved by offering more intricate pathways rather than just a straightforward route leading to the center from two directions.

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

There are several brands there, and if you have an elder together, they offer wheel chairs for free. Just need a brief registration with personal ID. Regarding the prices, not a big deal. Some products have discounts, others don’t. So don’t expect to buy everything you want there.

For you to go from São Paulo all the way there, you have to get, at least, good prices. This is not the case. Only one or other store offer good deal. The food court is very limited but you can bring with you your pet. Parking is another problem. It takes a while to find a spot.

About the food, not the best but not the worst as well. Good enough for an average lunch.

Expensive parking but rental cars are free. This is a "fashion mall". There's a parking garage and store side spaces. Prices are false, ALWAYS at a discount.

Awesome outdoor outlet mall! There are many options, some on the higher priced name brand. Variety of restaurants throughout and a small food court area. Great walking and shopping atmosphere. The only reason I am giving 4, not 5 stars, is due to the parking, on busy days it can be very difficult to find parking. The parking lot doesn't keep track of spaces so you can find yourself entering the paid lot and not finding a spot and then have to exit and drive around to the added parking garage which is also paid parking and also doesn't keep track of the vehicle count.

I have driven by this place many times without knowing it was even there. It was only when I saw Rafa Ribeiro post about it on Instagram I decided to visit, since I was passing. The place looks great, however, when we visited on a Tuesday lunchtime, the place was packed! Parking was stressful and could use some management or guidance. People were parked everywhere, literally! To my surprise we did find a space. We were hungry, and wow, every food place was packed, and the seated restaurants had huge waits, so it would seem best to arrive earlier and make sure the first thing you do is book a restaurant, or eat before you come. There was a great mix of stores, however the busiest and most popular stores, like NIKE and Adidas seemed on the small side, they were packed with customers, and surely could use larger stores. As for the prices, maybe for Brazil is good, but even with the favourable exchange rate from the UK the European stores seemed expensive for sure. I would visit again, but would hope to find a quieter time.

Wet'n Wild

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Park
Wet'n Wild is an expansive and vibrant water park with a multitude of slides, a wave pool, and occasional DJ-led events. While the food court options are limited and slightly expensive, children often delight in the burger meals available. Moreover, there are also more affordable snack choices that benefit parents financially. The staff members are exceptionally helpful and amiable. However, one drawback is the steep price for parking at 50R$, especially when considering the already high ticket price of 99R$.
Great day out, I really enjoyed this water park and my 11year old neice also had fun. The park wasn't busy, queues were short, it was clean and tidy and the food and drink on offer was of a good enough standard. The yellow capsule drop slide was scary but fun, and the white half pipe and family rubber ring slides were my favourite. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone to visit and would go again.
Tristan C — Google review
A very disappointing visit to a very unkept “wet n wild” theme park chain. The water was ice cold, half the rides weren’t operational and most of the food stores were close. We visited on a weekend during these past Christmas school holidays. Wet N Wild, how about not neglecting Brazil’s theme park and ripping off the locals for every penny to enter. It is absolutely outrageous you charge a fee for children under 3 years old. In AUSTRALIA the children’s entry starts at 3 years old so answer me this why are you charging the patron’s in Brazil???? I can not believe we had to pay for my 1 year old son to enter to not even be able to enjoy some play because the water was like the Atlantic. One very disappointing visit to see how much you have let it get run down. Especially when the locals don’t know any different, I will make it clear. WET N WILD BRAZIL you are over priced, you need maintenance and a full renovation. Absolutely appalling how run down this venue had become. My advice: don’t bother wasting your time or your hard earned money at this theme park.
Courtney L — Google review
Wet n wild is a great place to visit if you have little kids or teens. It has a great atmosphere and lots of different ride options. Most of the lines aren't too long except for the Vortex which is about a 30 min wait. Olga, Luiz Carlos and Kevin were very helpful. The food is okay the snack bar is mostly burgers and it's quite unhealthy. The place is a bit worn down - most of the rides haven't been painted in a while and there are very few floaties for rides making the wait longer than it needs to be. However, it was an overall amazing experience.

Avoid at all costs during the weekend. I went with my 14 yo kid and 10 of his friends. Here is our journey: * Parking is well organized and reasonably priced (r$ 60) * It took us 75 minutes to get in the park - that's because we bought tickets in advance. There was no shade, drinks or staff in the entrance line * We had to wait 60 minutes more in line to get a locker. * We chose a ride that was not too busy. We "only" had to wait 45 minutes in line. That means that it took three hours from the time we arrived to the time we took our first ride. * The kids took another ride and off we went for lunch. 35 minutes in line, and the tables were dirty and full of flies. What an unforgettable experience to have lunch surrounded by thousands of flies. * We took one most popular rides in the afternoon and it was time to go. * In a nutshell, we arrived at 10am and left at 4 pm, for a total of 6 hours in the park. We took 3-4 rides, each of which lasted about 45 seconds. That averages out to 2 hours wait for every minute of riding. * Staff is friendly, but poorly trained. When we want to buy an ice cream, it took staff 3 minutes to sell one popsicle. * Management don't apparently enforce any capacity limit to the park. There were clearly four times more people in the park that there should be. There is zero chance lifeguard could see any kid drowning - which luckily didn't happen. * There is medical examination to be in the park - and there were a few people with obvious and apparent skin diseases that shouldn't be there. That, combined with a 35 degrees Celsius temperature made this trip the worst trip of my last 20 years of life (where I have been travelling extensively for work and tourism across 25+ countries in 5 continents)

Eat before you leave your home. My wife always talk to me that would she like to go in a water club. Although, we live in a city with beach she prefers fresh water. The last month we went to Jundiaí SP and we resolve have fun in a club, so we choose Wet'n Wild. I already paid 50R$ only to park my car under the sun. inside the club we wasted some time find place for accommodation but I not found. However, we like the wave swim and the place for kids. Finally we went have a meal and one more time wast more time in the line. When our time arrived there weren't desks available we had eat standing up under the sun.

Crazy expensive and over priced. Prices are abusive. Its not as fun as i remembered and I got hurt in qll the rides. Make sure to buy tickets before you go, otherwise you pay $50 more. Plus another $50 just for parking, and another $30 for a locker. Like I said, abusive.

Jardim Botânico de Jundiaí

Botanical garden
Nature & Parks
Jardim Botânico de Jundiaí, a part of an urban revitalization initiative, is a vast park boasting picturesque gardens, pathways, lakes, and cascades. Its sheer beauty makes it highly recommended for all visitors. Citizens of Jundiaí should definitely take advantage of this tranquil haven to escape the bustling city and congested traffic. This charming location has become a must-visit spot whenever in Jundiaí due to its stunning natural surroundings and serene ambiance.
It's just one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. I really recommend going to the botanical garden and spending a great time there. All Jundiai citizens should go the for a spare time and leave both the noisy city and the jammed traffic behind.

Great family spot! Fun and educational park near São Paulo. Our kid loved the giant bee and the dinosaur! Clean, safe, and perfect for a day trip.

Good place to take kids under 12 years. Lots of places to play and have fun. There is only a café and it doesn't serves a meal. Only beverages, popsicles and fill things to eat. Very clean and organized. Has a parking lot and a reasonable price.

I visited this place to get acquainted with the culture of Buddhism. It was a wonderful experience, people are friendly and will gladly show and explain everything, the building and the territory are very beautiful and well maintained. Very quiet, calm and spiritually and mentally ... Free parking, and next to a huge beautiful green park with a pond in which there are many turtles. Bought some Chinese souvenirs and incense from a local shop.

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!

Amazing and cosy towncentre to visit and to go shopping, there're hundreds of stalls selling a huge range of handcrafts and food. Prepare yourself to stay there all day long I can say that it's worth going there. Although the town is pretty safe you should keep an eye on your stuff because the streets are crowded.
