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.
Cezar Reggio — Google review
Nice place to visit if you’re in São Paulo.
It’s not actually in the capital, but if you have a car, it worth’s the visit. 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.

Cool place to spend some time and buy some brand clothes for a relatively good price.

This large, popular zoo with a lake & forest features many animal exhibits & an educational museum.
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.

Tangua Park, Curitiba's largest recreational area, is a diverse and beautiful setting that features two lakes, gardens and a waterfall. The park is open 24 hours a day and offers a circular walk around one of the lakes with breathtaking views of the greenery.
Very beautiful park area complete with fountains, water features, small waterfall, and a terrace that offers breathtaking views of neighbouring hills. Well maintained flower display. Open walking spaces are suitable for exercising, picnics, and photography. Plenty of parking spaces.

The Oscar Niemeyer Museum is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture and design. The museum showcases permanent exhibitions of Brazilian and international artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as rotating exhibits highlighting Brazilian and international designers. The eye-shaped tower housing the museum's photographic time capsule is an iconic visual element of the space.
This museam has an exhibition of the famous Brazilian twins world renowned for thei graffiti work.
The exhibition is well set out and detailed.
I love art so I loved this place.
More over the architecture of the museam is wonderful. It is truly fascinating from an architectural and engineering perspective.

The exhibition items are extremely beautifully set in scene. The exhibition is generally very well curated and diverse exhibitions, both modern and traditional, are on display. During my visit quite some rooms and the eye were closed foe the setting up of new exhibitions (08.04.22). Entrance costs 30. Drinks and bottles are not allowed inside, but there are free lockers available. Good coffee in the museum café.

I’m not a fan of art really. I visited this place with my architect friend and he found some stuff interesting. I liked the part that talk s about Africa. I took a picture of the man with curved back to show it to my physiotherapist cuz he always tell me my back is curved.
I gave 4 stars because the parking system didn’t work
I do like the idea of collecting what is considered art in one place
Muhammed BALLAN محمد بلان — Google review
A great indoor space for a miles-long stroll on a bad weather day. Exhibitions (that try hard to be interesting) take place mostly in the undescriptive, adjacent "square" annex, so what is actually worth seeing is 85% outside. Store offers an array of objects using the museum logo (=outline). Still by far tourist attraction #1 in town.

Amazing museum with an unforgettable building design. There are various exhibitions inside, which include contemporary art and an impressive Asian and African collection of works.
My favorite exhibition this time was “BANCOS INDÍGENAS DO BRASIL”, which displayed more than 200 banks from 40 ethnic groups in the Amazon. Understanding the worldview of indigenous people was an inspiring experience.
It could be quite cold in the museum, though, remember to bring a jacket.
Joy H. — Google review
Free on Wednesday even for tourists. Lots of buses that goes there. The 50 reals for 12hrs to see 26 touristic locations is ok but you will lose 3 hrs here as it is amazing. The botanical gardin is also amazing (3hrs). I suggest walk/uber/omnibus for these top places. I like the African room and Chinese! Great art works. Free washrooms and water. Normal price is 30 reals.

Katarzyna Szewczyk — Google review
Very impressive! A half-hourly bus takes visitors to a nearby starting point for the sandstone columns where a walking path of just over 1 km takes you along the open front of the sandstones. You can then either take the bus back to the visitor centre or, as I did, walk back behind the stones through the forest for about 2 km along an up-and-down patched path back to the first bus stop. But don't take the bus back - there is a lovely 1 km grass path back to the visitor centre. There are also other attractions such as a sunken lake (furnas) via another bus. There is paid parking for R$20 and an entry fee of over R$100, with the usual half price discounts mandated by law for the elderly, pregnant, disabled and certain other groups.

Beto Carrero World is a popular family amusement park in Penha, Santa Catarina, known for its themed thrill rides, live cabaret shows, zoo and horse riding. The park spans over 10 million square meters with eight different areas each featuring a unique theme. Although some attractions like the kids rollercoaster were closed during our visit, the initiative to introduce Master Chef points has expanded the culinary offerings.
I’m from Mexico and I wanted to experience this place. It was really fun. I highly recommend to buy fast passes for some attractions because the line was long.
Also bring a lot water because is exhausting walk around whole day.
Some restaurants are good and some are really bad. I ordered a sandwich and I have to throw away because taste was so bad.
I recommend eat inside of the nerf arcade.
The burgers were good.

We had a really nice time there. We arrived right at the open time, was not a busy day at all, so I suppose we were lucky! We just took some minutes to go to the roller coaster and to many other attractions. The food is very expensive, for a normal food. The meal hall is very old, should be renewed as well as add more ventilation, it was sooo warm in there! We had cakes in some bakeries, which were sooo good. The new attraction was also very fun. The theater that happen during the day and evening are really worth it to see, you gonna have fun. + you don’t have to be a kid to be here, just go, I am sure you gonna have fun. There are different attractions, many many restaurants, many kiosks, zoo, candy shops and attractions for all ages!

Nice amusement park with lots of attractions for people of different ages and taste. So much to do and see so be ready to spend the whole day there. If you go make sure to buy tickets in advance (they are also cheaper) and to buy the express option (skip line) given that the park is very crowd so without it you will just be able to go to a very few rides (1h or more average time without it). Protect yourself from the sun (it is very hot there and there are almost no shade anywhere) and when purchase drinks make sure to buy plenty as the line for these are huge too. Very popular attraction! If you go, the hot wheels show is a must!!

If you're on a cruise, you can't avoid it. It's definitely a tourist trap but it does give you the experience of going up the hill to the top, then down to the beach

Gosh there really aren't words to describe the views you get from up top of the mountain. It is "the" spot to take the mot beautiful panoramic pictures of Balnéario Camboriú. The city itself is beautiful but the views from up there are out of this world. I'm so glad I did it.

Nicely done park on a hill between the beaches. Various options for entertaining teenagers at the top of the cable car - a toboggan ride, a slow electric train and, if the weather is ok - a zip line down to the beaches on the far side. Sadly zip line was closed due to high winds on the day we visited :-(.

Zoo Pomerode is a conservation-focused zoo that houses approximately 220 species of native and exotic mammals, birds, and reptiles. Visitors can purchase entrance tickets for an intimate experience with the well-cared-for animals. The zoo offers a diverse range of animals from South America and Brazil, providing a unique opportunity to see species not commonly found elsewhere. The lush surroundings and friendly staff contribute to a perfect zoo experience.
I would definitely go again!
The place is clean, the animals are taken well cared; you can see that by the size of the places where they are kept and we were able to see the workers feeding, cleaning...
I would suggest going later in the afternoon or early morning because of the hot weather.

We visited here in July 2023, it was fantastic. The animals looked happy and healthy. You get a very intimate experience and view of them all. I got to see a few animals from South America and Brazil that I hadn't seen before, or knew existed. There are lots of lovely trees around the zoo itself, the staff were exceptionally kind and friendly. A perfect zoo experience!
I was also offered a teacher's discount (I am a school teacher in New Zealand), if I provided proof/ID, so educators - be sure to bring your ID with you!

The Vila Germanica Park is a beautiful tourist attraction in Blumenau, with a variety of shops and restaurants. There is an Oktoberfest event every year, which is a great way to enjoy the local culture. The park is also home to some beautiful seasonal decorations, and is a perfect place to spend some time in the city.
It is the best experience (German food, culture and music). It is a great place to visit!

The Campeche Island is a beautiful, relatively unknown beach destination with a relaxing and pristine atmosphere. The island is also known for its archaeological sites, including an ancient Maya city that still stands today.
It is a must-visited Campeche Island. The best advice I can give is to check the weather before you go, choose an agency to buy it a few days before you plan going because it is a really popular place, if you arrive there without your ticket probably you will face a big queue to try to take the boat! If you have problems with the boat, bring your medicine because it will take 40 min by boat to get there! The water is beautiful, paradise!
priscilla credico da fonseca — Google review
If you are in Floripa a visit to this Island is a must. It is absolutely stunning.
You can access it from a few places but we chose to get a boat from Campeche Beach (10 minutes). Tip - get their early as people queue from 8am because they only allow limited numbers on the Island.

A beautiful island with calm but freezing water. If you go on the weekend, there are many boats obstructing the view of the ocean. Nonetheless, the island feels calm and relaxed. We (foreigners) were told it costs 300 reais per person round trip to the island. When we said we don't have that much cash, they lowered it to 200 reais per person (Feb 2022). Still expensive based on other comments here, but I guess that's the price you pay for not being brazilian.

Praia do Rosa is a renowned tropical destination known for its sandy beaches, snack stalls, hiking trails, surfing opportunities and whale watching. This beach is often confused with Garopaba due to its access through the neighboring municipality. The surrounding landscape of Praia do Rosa features two beautiful hills, preserved vegetation and lagoons that attract numerous visitors during summer. The sea at this beach varies considerably due to the extensive stretch of sand.
Love this beautiful and clean beach ❤️

Itaimbezinho is the most visited canyon in the region, located in the Aparados da Serra National Park, just 18 km from Cambara do Sul. Accessible via a stone dirt road, it offers lush trails with sweeping views of the gorge and surrounding park. The 3.5km walk to see the canyon exit is highly recommended for its impressive landscape, making it a great destination for families.
The canyons park is good. The 3.5km walk to see the canyon exit is very good, and the landscape is very impressive. Good to go with your family. Remember to get a jacket before to go: the weather changes quickly.

The most beautiful part of this place is the nature. Therefore there's no have safe structure for your children or pets. There's no signals or posts of directions on the road. The road that we used was very straight. But, I have a good point to explain: the view is exciting! And there's a lot of plant types. You'll take a lot of photos on end of the day, when the sun is running away.

Acqua Lokos, a serene establishment boasting cozy log cabins and offering an array of amenities such as a water park, petting zoo, restaurant, and bar. The water park itself provides thrilling rides that are pleasurable for visitors, along with delectable food options at reasonable prices. However, it is advisable to avoid weekends due to potential long queues. This remarkable destination presents diverse opportunities for amusement and dining experiences.
Incredible place. First, it's huge and there's so much to do. Took our 3 year old and there were a surprising amount of activities for someone her age. There are lots of pools and splashpads, various water slides for all ages and aventurine levels, a lazy river, a wave pool, pedal boats on the lake, a train ride to a farm with animals, roller coasters (even for toddlers), a ferris wheel, multiple play areas/ playgrounds. You could easily spend a couple of days here enjoying the park.
There are also bathrooms everywhere which is so nice with a little kid.
Tons of food choices and lots of chairs/ umbrellas for shade.
They also have a giant indoor water area if you want to go in the winter or even just get out of the sun a bit.
Overall amazing experience and if I lived closer I'd be getting the annual pass.

The International Friendship Bridge is a 1,812-ft.-long arch bridge with a pedestrian path that connects the cities of Foz do Iguacu in Brazil and Ciudad del Este in Paraguay. It symbolizes the union between the two countries and was constructed during the 1950s and 1960s over the Parana River. The bridge links Ciudad del Este to Foz do Iguazu and also shares a border with Puerto Iguazu in Argentina.
Easy to find a way to cross the bridge. Just uber close to it, and the signs will show “Pedestre”. Asked Imigration if its okay to walk, no problem.
M?ris Jankovskis — Google review
I took an Uber to the bridge which cost me £3. I walked across the bridge with no problem. I’m a single middle-aged female on my own and no one troubled me. I did a little shopping and I came back again. I didn’t even make a stop at immigration nobody seemed interested. No problem. I got a cold beer near the bridge and I ordered an Uber back to my hotel, which cost me £2. I was advised to use the buses I didn’t get on with that because I couldn’t figure out which bus or how to pay
Maria Brown — Google review
It was build in 1965 connecting Brazil to Paraguay. I do not advice to cross it on foot way too dangers You'd rather take a van in some local agency in Brazil and go with others, much safer that way.
Rodrigo Rahmeier — Google review
As a person that lives in the frontier and has passed this bridge countless times I will leave some tips for people that are visiting: (updated again!)
1. The bridge is not unsafe (and the cities aren't also) but you still have to pay attention for pickpockets. Doesn't mean you will find one but better to be precautious like you would in any big city. I would also add that right after Paraguayan customs there are a lot of men trying to give people pamphlets or flyers about certain stores, I personally wouldn't take those nor pay attention to them, be safe and just ignore them and go to the store you wanted to go (see number 11 too).
2. As pedestrians we do almost the same thing that cars do on the road. If leaving Paraguay by foot, you go from customs (Shopping del Este side) to the same side of the road until you get to customs of Brazil, if you are retourning to Paraguay you have to come back on the other side. When on the hallway of the bridge, we usually walk on the right so people that are in a rush can pass by the left.
3. There's no need to go to either customs if you're just going to do some shopping in CDE and go back or viceversa with Foz (read Acuerdo entre Paraguay y Brasil sobre Localidades Fronterizas vinculadas (ciudades gemelas)). If you're travelling further in either country you need to go to both customs (Aduana) BY YOURSELF.
4. If you want to take a good look at/take a picture of the bridge, it's even better on your way from cde to foz as they have an overlook to the bridge right after the bridge and on the way to brazilian customs (pay attention to your right after the end of the bridge, walk up some small steps and you'll find it).
5. Bring a hat or something to cover your head from the sun because the roof doesn't cover much, you can still see the sky. The roof and the barricades (?) are anti-suicide protections that they put up a few years ago, but in terms of rain and sun it doesn't protect much. Use sunscreen, a hat and bring a bottle of water with you to drink. It can be too hot or too cold (if windy).
6. If you pass to either side by bus or by car it can be fast sometimes but other times the road is too busy and you can be there for hours. Even though the problem is not in the bridge itself but the problem is the traffic before reaching the bridge from both sides. You can check that by searching "Ponte da Amizade camara" in google.
7. If you pass by bus the price is 12 reais or 15.000 guaraníes, goes back and forth in both countries every now and then. In Paraguay you can get in the bus at the terminal de buses or wherever downtown, goes to Brazil until TTU (Terminal de Transporte Urbano) and Rodoviária. Doesn't stop in the Aduanas (Customs) in case you need to make your entry.
8. There are also "paseros" that can make you get to the other side faster and for a little bit cheaper (some) but you have to ask until which part of both cities they go (probably not outside downtown side).
9. There are places where fakes are sold in Ciudad del Este, but it's not just that. There are many official stores of International brands or where they are represented, for example: Shopping China, Monalisa, Nissei, Shopping Paris, SAX, Atacado Games, Mobile Zone, Mega Shopping Importados, Tokutokuya (Asian foods and goodies especially from Japan).
10. Currency used the most is US Dollars but you can also use Reais or Guaraníes in stores, check if buying in dollars is the best option for you, it usually is.
11. People Are going to try to drag you to theirstores, they will talk to you some sweet things to lure you to buy their products; if you don't want any of that just say Gracias and make a "yes" motion with your head at the same time, that's all.
12. People in Ciudad del Este speak spanish, guaraní and portuguese (especially those that work downtown), if you speak english only it might be a little more difficult to find someone to speak with you but we are working on that! :P
I will keep updating if I notice some other things are missing here!

Good value.. if you get there early!
The only truly interesting things there are the sled and the kids park.
The sled is great but the line reached over 30 minutes during the day, and I’m sure it can get even worse on weekends or school holidays.
Get there at 9:00 sharp to beat the crowd. You can do a few rides with minimal or no wait before most people arrive.
Buying online can be tempting.. but if you’re there with your kids, you can get a child companion pass for R$100. It’s funny they don’t advertise this at all, and it’s not available online. They only offered it to us as we were seriously considering not getting anything in the end as the adult pass is pricey and the adult rides were closed due to the rain.

Air cable cars Da Serra Parks is an ecological park located in a conservation area that features modern cable cars amidst nature, offering scenic views of wildlands and a waterfall. Visitors have the option to disembark at two stations, with the first providing access to a trail leading to the Speaking Sculptures space and an upper lookout point. The second station offers a viewpoint for the canyon in front of Caracol Waterfall and Vale da Lageana.
Great smooth cable car ride. It starts by going up, before heading all the way down and then back up to the middle again. There’s a nice short trail to follow at the top, and an interesting exhibit with carved wooden animals which is great for kids. There is a professional photographer at the bottom taking pictures which are then able to be purchased.
Definitely worth the money and a great view of the waterfall.

Not only a teleférico, it is a full route of different activities and things to do and see.
Animals statues, as well as plants. In addition, you can see the talking wooden animals that make sounds as you pass a wooden stick on them.
Beautiful

I didn't enjoy very much. I think we can have better view from Caracol Park. And the cable are not exciting to justify the ride.

Not so much! The best point of view to look the cascade, doesn't allow you take good pictures because is dark.

A beautiful place, but a short ride.
It's definitely a beautiful place, after all you are surrounded by nature. Make sure to eat some popcorn at the top of the mountain.
Although I would not recommended it as Must Go place, I recommend it if you don't have anything else to do. :)

Absolutely spectacular. Didn't require a lot of time to visit.
The Catholic Church in the town of Canela, is a beautiful and imposing Gothic style church which took 16 years to build. The main attraction of the church is its impressive height of 65 meters, which makes it one of the main attractions in town. The only other real draw for tourists in Canela is the catholic church - making it a great choice for travelers who want to explore a unique city experience.
Beautiful view ..nice guide

The style of the catedral is kinda unique, if you like this sort of architecture I recommend you take a look.
