AMAZING Paradise😎
Easy access. . Just 5 minutes by boat from Gonçalinho Beach. I recommend the Konquilhas restaurant. Fair price and great customer service. The waiter "Coquinho" is very friendly and hard worker.
It's a short boat ride from nearby são Gonçalo Beach. This small island has three little beaches with simple restaurants. Plenty of shade under the trees. The sea is extremely calm and the water is clear. Great place to spend a few hours, especially for families with children

A paradise with excellent food.Try the "pastel de camarão" (Shrimp pastel).

Nice beach to kayak or take a boat to the Island
Basic beach, not particularly attractive and lacks facilities. Convenient access from the highway to park your car and get on a small boat to the nearest islands (Pelado, Peladinho and Cedro)

Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Museu de Maquetes da Nossa História is a museum that showcases scaled models depicting our rich history. This institution exhibits a wide array of miniature replicas illustrating significant events, landmarks, and cultural aspects of the past. The collection within this establishment provides visitors with an immersive experience into the diverse heritage we possess. Through intricate dioramas and meticulous craftsmanship, the museum offers an educational and visually captivating journey into our collective narrative.
(Translated by Google) It was all very good, I just think there needs to be some support from the city hall to improve the staff's conditions.
(Original)
Foi tudo muito bom, so acho que falta algum apoio da prefeitura para melhorar as condições do pessoal
Rick M — Google review
(Translated by Google) A pleasant space with several rooms with models that recall some important events in our history. There are also many objects and weapons used in the battle of the 1932 revolution.
(Original)
Espaço agradável com várias salas com maquetes que relembram alguns fatos marcantes de nossa história. Também há muitos objetos e armas utilizadas na batalha da revolução de 32.
(Translated by Google) The work done with the models is sensational! Very meticulous and detailed.
However, I believe that because there are so many models, the tour with high school students is too quick! They quickly and mechanically tell the stories portrayed in the works, leaving us no time to contemplate them. We must value youth in this type of work, but it seems like there's a lack of better supervision (as well as financial resources—they accept donations).
It's worth checking out.
(Original)
O trabalho feito com a maquetes é sensacional! Muito minucioso e detalhado.
Mas, acredito que por terem muitas maquetes, o tour com jovens do ensino médio é muito rápido! Eles contam rápida e mecanicamente sobre as histórias retratadas nos trabalhos que não nos dá tempo de contemplar os trabalhos. Temos que valorizar a juventude neste tipo de trabalho, mas parece que falta uma monitoria melhor (além de recursos financeiros - aceitam doações).
Vale prestigiar.
(Translated by Google) A somewhat hidden place near the Passa Quatro station, but worth a visit.
The tour is guided by monitors who explain the history of each model on display.
There are several rooms with models and objects from various historical periods such as the 1932 revolution, the Farrapos War and imperial history.
There is no entrance fee, they only ask for a donation to keep the place running.
(Original)
Lugar um pouco escondido próximo a estação de passa quatro, mas que vale a visita.
A visita é guiada por monitores que explicam a história de cada maquete exposta.
São várias salas com maquetes e objetos de várias épocas históricas tais como a revolução de 1932, guerra dos Farrapos e história imperial.
Não é cobrada a entrada somente pedem uma doação para manter o local funcionando.
(Translated by Google) The miniature museum is a project where the city's young people have the opportunity to get a "first job", so to speak. All the attractions/areas are presented by them, and the models are also made by the boys and girls involved in the project. The museum presents facts from the 1932 revolution and other historical attractions in Brazil. The models are representations of national historical facts.
As mentioned, the entire presentation is made by the young people involved in the project. Each one is responsible for presenting a wing/sector of the museum. Admission is free, and a donation is accepted at the end of the visit, all with the aim of helping the young people who participate in the project.
A wonderful project.

O museu de miniaturas é um projeto onde os jovens da cidade tem a oportunidade de um “primeiro emprego “ digamos assim, todas as atrações/áreas, são apresentadas por eles, as maquetes também são feitas pelos meninos e meninas do projeto, o museu apresenta fatos da revolução de 32 e outros atrativos históricos do Brasil, as maquetes são representações de fatos históricos nacionais.
Como mencionado toda a apresentação é feita pelos jovens do projeto, cada um é responsável por apresentar uma ala/setor do museu, a entrada é gratuita ficando a critério uma doação no final da visita, tudo no intuito de ajudar os jovens participantes do mesmo.
Um projeto maravilhoso.
(Translated by Google) A BEAUTIFUL museum, it's a shame that it's without incentives, without help, and is deteriorating.
It's a real shame.
A beautiful place. Perfect models, with lots of details.
Spectacular replicas of houses from different eras and places.
What upset me the most was knowing that it will be closed next month due to lack of help from the city government.
Our leaders are very stupid.
We have to encourage our culture as much as possible.
(Original)
Um LINDO museu, pena que esta sem incentivo, sem ajuda, se degradando.
Muita pena mesmo.
Local lindo. Maquetes perfeitas, com muitos detalhes.
Replicas de casas espetaculares, de varias épocas e locais.
O que mais me chateou foi saber que a partir do mês que vem, será fechado por falta de ajuda da prefeitura.
Nossos governantes são muito estúpidos.
Temos que incentivar ao máximo a nossa cultura.
(Translated by Google) A place of many stories and a journey back to the past. A wonderful project! Each place has models enriched by the “storytelling” of remarkable stories from world and Brazilian history. An unmissable tour for anyone visiting Passa Quatro.

I want to go back many times and I wish all the best to these young people and the coordinator.
A MUST visit when you are in Passa Quatro.

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

(Translated by Google) A great family outing, a very worthwhile experience for those who like to relive a bit of Brazilian history, a trip back in time to understand what life was like in the old days... The Maria Fumaça train is very well maintained, with a ramp for wheelchair access. The bathroom at one of the stations is very popular because it is tiny. In my opinion, the price could be a little more affordable to attract more passengers. We went as a family, 7 people, and since it was January (promotion) we paid half the price, 90 reais per person... (half price, according to the employee)
(Original)
Bom passeio em família, experiência muito válida para quem gosta de resgatar um pouco da história do Brasil, uma viagem no tempo para entender como já foi a vida a moda antiga …A Maria fumaça é muito bem cuidada, possuem rampa para acessibilidade a cadeirantes. Em uma das estações o banheiro é bem disputado por ser minúsculo. O preço, ao meu ver, poderia ser um pouco mais acessível para atrair mais passageiros. Fomos em família, 7 pessoas, por ser janeiro (promoção) pagamos metade da passagem, 90 reais por pessoa… (meia tarifa, segundo a funcionária)
(Translated by Google) It's a journey through time, lasting 2 hours. The train travels a short distance until it reaches the tunnel where the people of São Paulo and Minas Gerais clashed in the constitutionalist revolution of 1932. On the journey, there is a stop at the Manacá station to buy local products and live music on the train to liven things up. It's a program for those who like to get to know small towns and history.
(Original)
É uma viagem no tempo, com duração de 2 horas, o trem percorre um pequeno trecho chegando ao túnel onde houve o embate de paulistas e mineiros na revolução constitucionalista de 1932. Na viagem tem uma parada na estação manacá para compra de produtos locais e no trem música ao vivo para animar. É um programa para quem gosta de conhecer cidades pequenas e história.
(Translated by Google) The ride is very pleasant and relaxing. Along the way, there are several beautiful landscapes to take photos of.
This time, I paid R$75.00 per person, but the regular price is R$150.00.
At both stops, there are crafts and some drink and snack options.
I took the ride at 10:00 am on Carnival Monday.
I highly recommend this and other train rides!

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.
Recomendo muito este e outros passeios de trem!
(Translated by Google) Excellent tourist facilities in the city of Passa Quatro/MG. Ticket booths are located in two carriages pulled by a steam locomotive, the well-known Maria Fume. The journey takes about 2 hours, round trip, with stops at two stations: Manaca, where there is delicious popcorn from Fernando and Coronel Fulgencio, the last station, with a good bathroom. From this point, walk about 200 meters to the MMDC tunnel, on the border with SP, a true history lesson. Price of the tour on 23 March 24, 90 reais. Cards and cash accepted. It operates on Saturdays and Sundays, departing at 10 am and 2:30 pm. It also operates on holidays. I recommend arriving half an hour early to buy tickets, as there is a high demand for passengers.

(Translated by Google) Here is a piece of Brazil's railway history, preserved and serving to pass on the story to future generations. This spectacular ride certainly needs some improvements, but that doesn't detract from the tour in any way. On the contrary, it's worth highlighting the work of these people in keeping part of our history alive!
The ride takes about 2 hours round trip, leaving from the city of Passa Quatro to the tunnel that borders the state of São Paulo, which is also an important piece of Brazilian history.
Children love the ride on the train pulled by a steam locomotive (the famous Maria Fumaça). I recommend buying tickets in advance, as they always sell out, as they only run on weekends!
(Original)
Está aqui um pedaço da história ferroviária do Brasil, preservado e servindo para passar a história para as próximas gerações, passeio espetacular que com certeza precisa de uma ou outra melhora mas que não desmerece em nada o passeio, pelo contrário vale aqui ressaltar o trabalho dessas pessoas em manter viva parte da nossa história!
O passeio leva cerca de 2 horas ia e volta, saindo da cidade de Passa Quatro até o túnel que faz divisa com o estado de São Paulo, ali também um pedaço importante da história do Brasil.
As crianças adoram o passeio no trem puxado por uma locomotiva a vapor (famosa Maria Fumaça), recomendo comprar ingressos com antecedência pois sempre se esgotam já que só funciona ais finais de semana!
(Translated by Google) An experience that is definitely worth it! You can buy tickets online, or you can make a reservation by WhatsApp/phone, which are listed on the website. There are parking spaces around the station with easy access. After booking, you need to go to the ticket office at the station and pick up your ticket, which is very nice. Payment methods accepted at the ticket office: Cash/credit and debit cards. There are clean bathrooms at the station! My family and I went on Sunday, boarding at 10 am. When boarding, the super polite and charismatic employees tell you about what the tour will be like, as well as the stations where they stop, which are Manacá and Coronel Fulgêncio. Along the way, they tell you interesting facts about the tour and there is a singer who livens up the entire route, who sings very well and entertains the crowd! At the stops, there are bathrooms and stalls selling sweets, drinks, and crafts. At the last station, Coronel Fulgêncio, the guide takes us to the stage of the revolution, the tunnel that connects the cities of Passa Quatro and Cruzeiro. To get to the tunnel, we walk a few meters. I recommend wearing warm clothing and comfortable shoes! Finally, the train makes its turn and we return to the station. Throughout the ride, we are privileged by a beautiful view and lots of nature!!! I recommend the ride.
(Original)
Experiência que vale a pena sem dúvida alguma! A compra dos tickets pode ser feita pelo site, ou pode ser feito uma reserva pelo WhatsApp/Telefone que constam no site. Ao redor da estação, há vagas para estacionamento com fácil acesso. Após a reserva, é necessário, na estação, passar na bilheteria e retirar o ticket que é muito bonito. Métodos de pagamento aceito na bilheteria: Dinheiro/Cartões crédito e débito. Na estação há banheiros limpos! Eu e minha família fomos no domingo, embarcamos às 10h. No embarque, os funcionários que são super educados e carismáticos contam sobre como será o passeio, além das estações que param, sendo Manacá e Coronel Fulgêncio. No trajeto, contam curiosidades sobre o passeio e há um cantor que anima todo o trajeto, canta muito bem e anima o pessoal! Nas paradas há banheiro e barraquinhas que vendem doces, bebidas, artesanato. Na última estação, Coronel Fulgêncio, a guia nos leva ao palco da revolução, o túnel que liga a cidade de Passa Quatro e Cruzeiro, para chegar ao túnel, caminhamos alguns metros, recomendo uso de roupa de frio e calçado confortável! Por fim, o trem faz a manobra e voltamos para a estação. Durante todo o passeio, somos privilegiados por uma bela vista e muita natureza!!! Recomendo o passeio.

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.

Churches & Cathedrals
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!*

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.

(Translated by Google) The cable car is an attraction that's truly worth a visit in Aparecida. Safe, well-maintained, and with excellent facilities, it connects the National Sanctuary to the Mirante do Morro do Cruzeiro viewpoint, providing a peaceful and pleasant ride.
During the journey, you can enjoy beautiful views of the Basilica, the city, and the surrounding landscapes. The structure inspires confidence, and the route is an excellent way to contemplate Aparecida from a new perspective, combining faith, nature, and a very beautiful visual experience.

O Bondinho Aéreo é uma atração que realmente vale a visita em Aparecida. Seguro, bem cuidado e com ótima estrutura, ele liga o Santuário Nacional ao Mirante do Morro do Cruzeiro, proporcionando um passeio tranquilo e agradável.

Santuário Nacional de Nossa Senhora Aparecida
Mentioned on
Shrine
Sights & Landmarks
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

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.
Amazing place to visit
Highly recommend to arrive early and avoid crowds.
Still an amazing visit

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 ♥️🇧🇷🌴
Pınar A — Google review
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.

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.

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

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.

Nice place to visit. Destination for a lot of tour buses, so it was pretty busy when we were there. Lots of shops selling the usual tourist fare. The water was pretty and interesting. 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.

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
Top d+
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.

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

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! :)

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.

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.

It's a nice experience. You can see the production and then taste a lot of different options of beer. To eat we had some finger food only, bit everything was pretty good. And, all that with a great view to the Mantiqueira mountains. You should check it!

Award-winning beer, amazing views and tasty food, all served by very friendly staff!
Amazing views to enjoy quality craft beer. Very busy, so it pays to either book in advance or arrive early. Food is good too
Great surprise for us coming from San Diego, the national craft beer capital in the USA 🇺🇸 Friendly staff with special attention to Eliza 🥳🥳 Great food: Mandira Friday, baby beef, salads, all good! The the girls liked Trem do Amor so much that they took a bottle to our hostel in Paraisópolis 👏👏👏

Very few shops around, most of them are closed. Good choice for snacks and food but no coffee shops. Some bars around but nothing to enjoy a good coffee or tea. Location is not good and probably this is the reason the place is not very popular with locals. Not easy reachable by foot for tourists without own transportation. The mall was building far away from city center and main high street to keep shoppers on foot away, well they managed to keep most shoppers away, I can say the development was a disaster for choosing a poor location.
Due to the shopping policy stores are really expensive and the only thing to do there is fast food eating/cinema. Moreover, a lot of stores have closed or moved away from the shopping. And, they still charging for parking spots. No surprise it might be closing on 2020
If you expect a good mall, it isn't. At least it works for its purpose of having a food court, cinema and shops.
Several food options at the food court, reasonable quantity of shops. Lacks more anchors such as a supermermarket or a drug store.
Sundays and holidays was suppose to open at 11:00 am
I came by and it the stories just open noon(12:00)
That’s kinda unprofessional and disrespectful

The best Take-off I have ever been. There is a small restaurant, where you can buy food and beverages, a small shop with t-shirt and other stuff.
There are toilets and drinkable water.
It is possible to take-off with different wind directions. All the take-offs are spacious.
That’s an awesome place! It’s very beautiful to camp there, watch the sun rise, see the people fly... so much things to do! And you can meet a lot of new people of different places of Brazil and the world!
Great paragliding experience!
A fantastic Brazilian spot!
Wonderful view ! Was worthy to drive up and enjoy the great view. Espresso was nice too. Really enjoyable !

One of my favorite places on this city, a real Japanese park inside downtown... Beautiful trees, flours, typical fish and water mirrors...its not only 5 starts because the old Japanese house its not more there...
Absolutely gorgeous, monkeys grabbing banana and peanut from your hand. My two toddlers loved it.
Very Good! Nice place to visit with your family.
The place is so beautiful and you can see monkeys and racoons.
U can see monkeys and racoons... It's a beautiful place to visit

Sad to see the privatization of places that belonged to the city and its citizens. Most attractions at Poços de Caldas are now private and closed at this time. Yes, you heard me... the attractions are closed except for the christ. Once they open again all attractions will be charged... locations that were free for more than 100 years will now be charged.
Needless to say, the Fonte dos Amores was closed. What saved the day were the monkeys who were coming to the gate to greet us. However, because the attraction has been closed, the monkeys have been hungry and tourists have been feeding them all types of foods even M&Ms.. so sad.
This is a very nice city trail by which I mean, your only one block outside a residential neighborhood and into the mata. Once on the trail you're immediately in dense foliage and on a steep, stairs-like climb for the next 500m. The last 100m or so is on open mountain exposed to sun and a view of your target, Christo. My observations, the trail could be more meandering through the jungle to get to the top rather than straight up. And of course, Brazilian style, there's a road for cars to drive to the top so you arrive into a parking lot, cars and the usual trash and noise. Check out the paragliding view on the backside!
The place has beautiful waterfalls and food stands are near it if you wanna catch a snack. Also, be careful. There are a lot of rocks you may slip on.

The Cristo Redentor monument is a stunning statue of Jesus Christ perched atop an observation tower, which provides visitors with breathtaking panoramic views. The monument offers sweeping vistas of the city and its surroundings, making it a popular tourist destination. However, due to its exposed location, visitors should be prepared for windy conditions when visiting. In addition to the incredible views, the statue itself is also a marvel of engineering and design that requires careful maintenance to keep it in pristine condition.

It was ok But need more care, because The parking and the gardens wasn't beautifull, But i recommend visit The waterfall after a day of raining
I recommend a visit, it's a very well-structured place to receive tourists, with a place to eat, rest and buy souvenirs.
Great place to fast visit... Beautiful waterfall and easy access to place
Incredible nature! And a lot of hand made things to buy!
Very nice place,but they need sell food over ther
Very cute overlook and photos. Only. 10 reals for parking so that was nice. Very pretty waterfall!
Beautiful Place to visit; being by nature is unbelievably, and the view is astonishing, but it is better to visit when it's not raining. Don't forget the visit closes at 17:00.
