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.

Parque Portugal, also known as Lagoa do Taquaral, is a renowned city park that features a stunning lagoon and a variety of attractions for visitors to enjoy. The park boasts beautiful trees and flowers of all kinds and is home to families of geese, ducks, and capybaras.
Beautiful park (with free parking), well maintained with a nice 2.7km walking trail. The big boat was neat but only open weekends to go inside. The lake and all of the wildlife gathered around it (including capybara and cats) was very fun! The workout equipment is a neat idea, and they had water fountains and clean washrooms!!!
Brandon Morton — Google review
Better with family.
This is an excellent spot for running, offering wide and varied trails with spots of shade at all times of day, the path was not paved in all places and so it may be muddy in the rain.
There is a big ship to explore and beautiful plants. There were paddle boats but they had a cost to try. And some play equipment for kids.
Depending on your disposition, this may not be the best place to go if you have limited time. There is not much that distinguishes it from any other large park in the world and it is not well maintained.
It was hot and few places to buy water so come prepared.
Ben Sperry — Google review
This is a very big park, with no entrance fee! I was impressed to see capybaras chilling everywhere. There is a Planetarium, but i advise to first check out the opening hours. There's a huge ship you can get on and several food stalls with delicious snacks.
Noelia Cruz — Google review
Definitely my favorite park in Campinas! Amazing green scenery views, river, trees, capybaras everywhere. Delicious Açaí and ice cream are the bonus. Very clean and animal friendly park.
There are many street cats but they love people and people take care of them too. One of my father in law's cats is from this park and he named her "Serena".

Nice park, you can run (2,75km)or walk. In the weekends there are peddle boats. It has s theatre and BBQ areas. Plus playgrounds and evcersise areas. It also has the old city tram running in the weekends, there are toilets and foodtrucks(outside the gate).

Leanne Schild — Google review
It's one of the most known places in Campinas. It's a classic park you should visit if you are in town.
A lot of trees, tracks for walking/running and cycling. There is a big lagoon in the inside with an inner track. A lot of sports courts (basketball, volleyball, soccer, etc) of cement and sand.
It's a very good place to spend a few hours.
It's lacking some conservation and it doesn't allow pets inside, sadly.
More recently it is hosting some cultural activities and during August 2019 there was the DegustArt festival there with a lot of known restaurants serving food and drinks in small portions. It was very tasty! A fun fact: there was a lot of people from iFood (using the typical "motorcycle delivery uniform") grabbing the order on the table, going to the restaurants stands, taking the order and bringing to you. It was a cool plus.

I love this mall, I mostly often to there. My favourite place there is Bacio di Latte, they serve amazing ice cream (not very cheap). Italian ice cream is the best. I always buy the berries ice cream and the chocolate one with a base of water. It's very important to find a place that serves ice cream without cow milk.

Zoo home to giraffes, elephants & flamingoes, plus prehistoric exhibits like dinosaur skeletons.
Amazing place to go with your family specially if you have kids, they will love it. The trails is quit long for small child's and they don't have accessibility, or if you go with a small kids you will have to carry them during some stages of the trail, but apart of it is an excellent place to visit.
I recommend to arrive after lunch in hot days, you will need around 3 hours to do the course. It has a restaurant and cafeteria to eat.

Reaching the top is not for someone who is out of shape, it could even be a health risk for those with heart health issues. There is about 8meters of stairs to climb and the stairs are not so well made as some of them are low steps and some are hi steps, this can be a problem going back down too.
When you reach the top, however, you will be rewarded with a beautiful picturesque view of the town in the valley below. In my opinion it's worth the effort if your health will allow it. I really really enjoyed it and it is a memory I will savor for years to come.

Trilha da Pedra Redonda is a relatively easy hiking trail that starts at the end of Av. das Montanhas or can be reached from the Plato trail. It takes about an hour to complete and offers a tranquil experience through lush greenery. The trail leads to a 1990m rounded peak, providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Hikers are advised to wear comfortable clothes and sneakers, bring water, and apply sunscreen due to windy conditions on the rocks and intense sun exposure.

(Translated by Google) One of the main attractions of the city, several tourist agencies offer this tour. It is necessary to make an appointment in advance to enter the park, passenger cars suffer to arrive due to road conditions. Moderate trail, with climbs that require a little breath lol, but the final view is fantastic, yielding excellent photos and memories.

(Translated by Google) It was difficult to climb
The trail is very easy. But if you don't have the breath, you'll suffer a little.
The guide who took us was super understandable. Walked slowly
He took beautiful photos for us.
*Important detail*: wear sneakers, very comfortable clothes, a bottle to put water in the spring, no bags, hats or caps. Use lots of sunscreen, on your ears and neck. It's very windy on the rocks. The sun is intense. Enjoy the view. It's worth all the sacrifice to climb.

Foi difícil subir
A trilha é bem facilitada. Porém se não tiver fôlego vai sofrer um.pouco.
O guia que nos levou foi super compreensível. Andou devagar

*Detalhe importante*: vá de tênis, roupa bem confortável, garrafa para por água na nascente, nada de bolsa, chapéu ou boné. Use muito protetor solar, nas orelhas, pescoço. Na pedra venta muito. O sol é intenso. Aproveite a vista. Vale muito todo o sacrifício pra subir.

(Translated by Google) Experience out of 10! The trail was really cool, when I did it I didn't expect sun, but it was worth it! In the sun it must be even more beautiful. It's not difficult, but elderly people or people with leg problems should avoid it, as it takes about 40 minutes going up and 40 minutes going back down. Up there, try taking a photo with mirroring in the water, it looks really cool.

Experiência nota 10! Muito legal a trilha, quando fiz não tinha expectativa de sol, mas valeu a pena! Com sol deve ser mais bonito ainda.

Lá em cima, tente fazer foto com espelhamento na água, fica bem legal.

(Translated by Google) The trail is light to moderate. In fact, I found it more difficult to drive up to the parking lot than to hike the trail 😅. The route is all signposted, there are no secrets. And that's why you don't need a guide.
We did it at 2:00 pm and it was super peaceful, as well as being cool because of the forest. As it was a bit cloudy, when we arrived at the top of the rock, it was a mild temperature and without strong sun.
The view is truly impressive, a breathtaking 360º view.

Entrance: R$35

A trilha é leve a moderada. Na verdade, achei mais difícil subir de carro até o estacionamento que fazer a trilha 😅. O percurso é todo sinalizado, não tem segredo. E por isso não necessita de guia.
Fizemos às 14:00 e foi super tranquilo, além de ser fresquinho por causa da mata. Como estava meio nublado, quando chegamos no topo da pedra, estava com uma temperatura amena e sem sol forte.

(Translated by Google) Easy to moderate trail, well signposted, with benches at some points to help with breaks and rest, tests physical fitness due to the steep climb, especially after stopping at the Mirante, trail to the top in about 30 minutes. For the elderly or people with health and mobility problems, they should avoid it, as it requires more care and more from them. The path to the entrance is bad, not well signposted and mostly dirt, so you have to pay attention.
It's really worth it, the view at the top is sensational!!!
I didn't pay for parking.
I didn't go with a guide.

Trilha de fácil a moderada, bem sinalizada, com bancos em alguns pontos pra ajudar em pausas e descansos, testa o condicionamento físico devido a subida íngreme, principalmente após a parada no Mirante, trilha até o topo em mais ou menos 30min. Para idosos ou pessoas com problema de saúde e mobilidade devem evitar, exige mais deles e cuidado. O caminho até a entrada é ruim, não muito sinalizado e na sua maioria de terra, tem que ter uma atenção.
Vale muito a pena, a vista no topo é sensacional!!!

(Translated by Google) If you don't go with a tour company, the trail needs to be booked, we went in March (Easter) 2024 and the cost of the individual trail without a guide was 42 reais.
Additionally, you need to pay for parking, which costs 20 reais per car.
I hadn't found anywhere that I needed to book an appointment for this tour.
Unfortunately, due to the available times for the trail and the amount charged, I didn't do it.
(Original)
Se você não for com uma empresa de turismo a trilha precisa ser agendada, fomos em março (na páscoa) de 2024 e o valor da trilha individual e sem guia era de 42 reais.
Além disso, precisa pagar o estacionamento, que custa 20 reais por carro.
Eu não tinha achado em lugar algum que precisava de agendamento para esse passeio.
Infelizmente por causa dos horários disponíveis para a trilha e o valor cobrado não fiz a mesma.

(Translated by Google) The trail is quiet, at several points there are wooden stairs and benches to rest. The viewpoint halfway through is good, and the round rock has a really incredible view. You must be aware that there is a lot of sun on the round stone.
The only downside is that you need to book and pay 35 reais per person to do the trail, a very abusive price for a tour without a guide, and there is no half price.
I don't recommend it for people with limited mobility, but I recommend it for children.
(Original)
A trilha é tranquila, vários pontos há escadas de madeira e bancos para descansar. O mirante do meio do caminho é bom, e a pedra redonda tem uma vista realmente incrível. Há de estar atento que na pedra redonda há bastante sol.
O único porém é que é necessário agendar e pagar 35 reais por pessoa para fazer a trilha, um preço bem abusivo para um passeio sem guia, e não há meia entrada.
Não recomendo para pessoas grande dificuldade de locomoção, mas recomendo para crianças.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Larissa Mori — Google review
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

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!

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.

A tourist attraction in Sao Jose dos Campos called Ducha de Prata is a beautiful waterfall and shower that can be accessed by wooden decks. There are nearby stalls selling souvenirs. The water was pretty and interesting, but there were no actual trails to hike to get away from the crowds. It was pretty busy when we were there, so it may not be the best choice if you want to visit on your own.
It’s a very beautiful place and there are shops you can shop souvenirs from. The only issue is the issue of getting a ticket to enter the main areas there but you can still view for free from the first stairs and also take pictures. We didn’t stay for long because we went there by the sight seeing train from the capivari.

Ducha de Prata is an incredible place close to nature within Campos do Jordão. The destination provides a unique experience with contact with nature in artificial waterfalls and exuberant centuries-old trees.
It is not a relaxing activity as it has been aggressively explored, too many stores and vendors.

Beautiful scenery. Definitely worth a look if you are in the area. If you see the waterfalls, keep going down the path until the end. There are some hidden waterfalls underneath where most people stop. The shops and tourist attractions are fun. Very down to earth location. Most of the shops close early so plan accordingly. Come by car because the roads are narrow and the cars speed.

Morro do Elefante is a mountain top spot with amazing city and mountain views. It can be accessed by car or cable car, but the latter option is payable. The view from up there is definitely worth it!
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.

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.

Outdoor recreation park offering zip lining, canopy walks & bike rentals in a forest locale.
Fabulous park, so much to see and do, some easy walks, pedalling swan-shaped boats, stunning nature, playgrounds and cafes and a fabulous restaurant (Dona Chica) which is award-winning and yet cheaper than the Capivari places. Signage is exclusively in Portuguese (which is a shame) but it's easy to find your way around. Kids love to run around and explore, don't expect European safety standards in the playgrounds (as usual in Brazil) but they're good fun.

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.

The Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida is a Roman Catholic church built in 1745. It boasts impressive artwork and stained glass, and holds services regularly. Aparecida proxima da Basilica, located nearby, offers a large patio for visitors to explore. The basilica is larger than expected, resembling an entire city with numerous stores and restaurants within its walls.
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.
Roger Santos — Google review
#Basilica de Aparecida
is a magnificent cathedral one should not miss when visiting Brasil! The main building and the dome being the center, the hallway extends out, forming a semicircle . In the center of the square of the semicircle is an iron lid carved with spikes pointing to the twelve saints whose statues stand on the wall. It’s kinda hard to tell how big the cathedral is from the picture; but if you come and see it for yourself, it’s hard not to be in awe. .
Walking into the cathedral, I was immediately stunned by the bright colors and the solemn atmosphere. They design the interior with four sections of benches forming a cross, and the altar in the center. It’s hard to describe how beautiful it is, but trust me it is breathtaking and you couldn’t help feeling respectful to this place. Strolling around the building, you really feel like you are back in the middle age. .
Beside the cathedral is a museum, divided into two parts: the observation deck and the historical relic. From the observation deck, you can see the whole city of Aparecida and the saint river, Baraiba, where they discovered 12 pieces of saint statues. Looking out from a higher altitude, I realized how big Brasil really is! It looks like there’s no end to the horizon. If you are interested in history, the observation deck has the history written on the wall, so one can really enjoy the view while learning something. .
Let’s move on the the historical relic section. Most of the relics were collected by a women, and then many people donated their own objects to the museum. Yet, looking at those luxuries objects and statues, I couldn’t help wonder if a man as humble as Jesus would like the idea of this. .
There’s a wishing room in the cathedral also. I find the way you make a wish here quite intimidating! You need to sacrifice something you really cherish in exchange for the wish to come true. Sounds alright? There are candles of feet and hands! Wow if I need to sacrifice those just to make the wish come true, forget about the wish! 😂😂😂😂😂 .
Basilica de Aparecida is truly a place worth visiting. Make sure you come if you are in Brasil!

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.

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

You don't have to buy tickets. It is a beautiful old church. I felt a great sense of peace there... You reach it through the Walkway of Faith...

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!*

Km 61.5, “Rodovia Vice Pref. Salvador Pacetti” - Taboão, Cunha - SP, 12530-000, Brazil
Itatiaia National Park is the oldest national park in Brazil, boasting a diverse array of landscapes ranging from dense rainforests to rugged peaks. The lower section of the park is easily accessible and offers visitors numerous short trails that lead to breathtaking waterfalls and natural swimming holes. Meanwhile, serious hikers and climbers can explore the remote high country via an unpaved road. The park is also home to abundant flora and fauna, such as orchids, monkeys, and tropical birds.
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.

It's a decent park, but beware that the upper portion of the park is almost impossible to get up with a regular car. You DEFINITELY need a high-clearance vehicle like an SUV or 4x4 to do it, or a motorcycle.

Praia de São Gonçalo is a popular destination for tourists, featuring a long beach that can be accessed by crossing a small river either on foot or by canoe, depending on the tide. Visitors can also take boats from the beach to Ilha dos Pelados, which is known for its bars. It's an ideal spot to relax and enjoy cold drinks while taking in the beautiful surroundings. This beach offers a tranquil escape and is highly recommended for those seeking a peaceful getaway in Paraty.

This stunning spot offers visitors the opportunity to indulge in snorkeling and scuba diving activities. The waters are pristine and abundant with marine creatures such as turtles that can be spotted if you're lucky. There's also a nearby island with equally beautiful surroundings that adds to the charm of this must-visit location.

Our boat stopped here for us to have a swim or snorkel. What a beautiful spot, there was lots of marine life here, fishes were big and colourful. One of the tourist spotted a turtle bit unfortunately I didn't get to see one!

Another stop on our boat tour. Everyone had pool noodles to enjoy the warm clear water and all the fishies swimming close by. You don't actually go on the island.

Totally an awesome experience of nature at its finest. Swimming, snorkeling, relaxing. I would recommend not going on holiday weekends or during peak seasons though, unless you find a hidden unpopular beach or cove. It gets pretty crowded with boat traffic and people. If you are into the crowds etc go for it! 😁

Lovely little islands with plenty of fish to see. The rocks are very slippery and dangerous.

Get there early and you'll have a wonderful experience snorkeling with all the sea life. Gets too crowded to enjoy afterwards.

Spacious nude beach with strong waves, a relaxed setting & views of offshore islands.
Love this nude beach. It's near Classico but on the opposite side of the entrance behind the rocks. There is no signal in the area so you will need to plan ahead, carry cash for a taxi, or walk the hill for a signal.

Fantastic as it’s calmer for kids. Warm water. Fun for adults as well.

Great bar and great atmosphere. It's well worth the trip out here and it's also a great spot for a swim. We were here mid week in the early afternoon, so it wasn't busy at all, but imagine it'd get crowded on weekends.

Two places in one. If looking at the sea, on your right you have the regular beach, but on your left (passing those large rocks) you got a nudist beach. The whole place is wonderful. Today the water was clean and transparent, so you could see your feet. The only problem is to get back home, since there's not phone signal there. You should schedule with a driver to pick you up.
Rodrigo Gonzalez — Google review
Hidden gem. If you walk past the left side corner and go by and around big rocks on the beach sand you get access to the naturist area where clothing is optional. Great place to go for a swim and hang out for a bit in nature. It could really be an idilic place if it were not for the super weird men who are there not to be in harmony with nature but rather to let their sexual nature come out aggressively and extremely impolitely.

Excellent beach. Sea is rough in the middle. Recommend staying on the right hand side of the beach, close to the rocks. The water is a bit calmer there and a car park is available.
Ronald Groot — Google review
Bit far from the city if you don’t have a car but definitely the most beautiful beach in Rio
Brennan Wilkes — Google review
Rio’s nudist beach. Worth visiting once as it is quite nice and quiet. Don’t stay after sundown. Might be hard to get an uber come and rescue you (switch to cash if they keep cancelling).
Prainha Beach is a stunning and peaceful crescent of sand flanked by rainforest-covered mountains. It's popular with surfers, but also great for families who want to get away from the hectic crowds on the main beaches. The sand here is soft and white, the waves are blue and big, and there are a few kiosks selling food and drinks.
The best beach I've ever been to in my entire life. Jumping in the waves brought new life to my soul. Obrigado Deus.
Jake Edwards — Google review
The beach itself is amazing, beautiful it blends the city with nature, just by turning around a corner.. Great options to eat seafood based meals and an amazing spot for surfing. Which makes it not so welcoming to swimmers, cause there usually are a lots of waves. Phone reception over there is really bad, so getting an uber to leave the place might be an ordeal, i'd recommend a car, a bycicle or accept the fact that you might have to walk back part of the way before u can get Internet again (but there is a chance that u'll get internet over there).

I call this place the Hawaii of Rio!! It is beautiful, clean, safe and full of waves. The restaurant located at the point is pretty tasty and a little pricy. Prainha is a must when visiting Rio!!!

Lovely beach. Go during the day, while the sun is up! Just make sure it doesn't get dark while you are at Prainha beach, we couldn't find a taxi and struggled a bit as wifi connection didn't work well either.

The Curupira Recreio dos Bandeirantes beach is a stunning getaway located in the Atlantic Forest reserve. The peaceful and serene beach is perfect for a day of relaxation with views of Pontal peninsula. There are several snack bars and restaurants nearby that offer great views of the ocean.

The complex houses the renowned Bohemia Brewery, a national heritage site built in neoclassical style in 1853. Visitors can explore the fascinating museum of beer, which showcases the rich history of brewing in Brazil. The tour includes tastings of three different Bohemia beers and provides insight into the brewery's heritage.
Hugely enjoyable museum of the history of beer in Brazil. I honestly didn’t expect it to be so fascinating! The tour includes 3 different Bohemia beers and the restaurant serves good food with many Chopps (beer on tap). Well worth a visit

R. Alfredo Pachá, 166 - Centro, Petrópolis - RJ, 25685-210, Brazil
Casa de Santos Dumont, once the residence of Alberto Santos-Dumont, a renowned Brazilian aviator and inventor, has now been converted into a museum dedicated to preserving his pioneering work in aviation. This heritage museum showcases his significant contributions to the field and serves as a testament to his historical significance. The house, which was specifically designed by Dumont himself, provides visitors with an immersive experience by featuring replicas of his inventions and exhibits that highlight his life and achievements.
Beautiful place with beautiful history!
Brandon Hainline — Google review
Rather disappointing, considering the recognized importance of the man.
There is a lot of material in archives that document his achievements.
There is precious little that found its way into this museum.
One leaves hungry for what could have been shown.

Historic place which deserves a visit in order to get better acquainted with Alberto Santos Dumont and his inventions and some details about him.

Nice quick historical visit. Very unique and true story, the first registered flight without wind help or catapult. The real inventor of the first airplane!
Michel — Google review
Unfortunately, not even half the information in the exhibition are translated into English. Also we didn’t find any film like it’s suggested in other comments. All in all, I’d say that it’s not really worth it if you don’t understand Portuguese very well. Which would be okay, but since the prices and basic information at the entrance are written in English, you’d expect otherwise. House is cute and if you’d like to know how it looks from the inside, it may be worth a visit. If you (again from an English speaking perspective) want to learn about Santos Dumont, you might be better off reading Wikipedia.

The House of Santos Dumont is a great place to visit. I got surprised when I saw how simple he lived behind the big intelligence he had. The history of this great person brings pride of such human and the benefits he brought to the humandade.
Fabio Mac — Google review
Beautiful site with a rich history and gorgeous scale replicas of Santos' creations, and the original house designed by Santos Dumont himself. The entrance fee is decent, and they offer a video (with English subtitles) that tells the true story of Mr. Dumont. This is a must-visit site for fans of aviation history. Keep in mind the stairs are steep (which is part of the original history of the house), but there is an elevator available for people who have difficulty.

Historic place, charges $8 Reais for entry, coming from the US didn't know much about Santos Dumont, interesting aviator scientist
Srikanth Gajavelli — Google review
It is a super small museum, it takes you probably 30 Minutes to see everything. It is very interesting if you are a fan of history and specially the history of the planes. The only downside is that the infrastructure there is quite bad. And it is super small, so if you go on a busy day, it will be impossible to go in.

Cathedral in Petropolis. After their exile to and death in Europe, the remains of the last Brazilian emperor Pedro II and his wife were laid to rest here in marble tombs. His surviving daughter and her French husband are also entombed here. Of interest to those interested in 19th century imperial history of Brazil.

Housed in the grand palace built in 1845 by Brazil's first emperor, the Imperial Museum offers a comprehensive documentation of Brazil's rich history. Located in Petropolis, a city renowned for its remarkable architectural ensemble including landmarks like Palacio Quitandinha and Academia Petropolitana de Letras, the museum stands as the centerpiece of this historic district. It showcases exhibits that delve into Brazil's imperial past, showcasing artifacts and narratives that shed light on significant events and personalities.
Very enjoyable small museum of Brazilian history in what was the summer palace for the Emperor. Includes the imperial crown, bedrooms, and some nice paintings of old Rio. Good value at R$10.

Museum in Petropolis built during the reign of the last Brazilian emperor Pedro II. Fascinating insight to the imperial family of Brazil, lots of paintings of the emperor, empress and their two daughters. Anyone interested in the 19th century history of Brazil should find this enjoyable. It is worth doing some research on Internet beforehand. My doing so made it more interesting for me. It is not possible to take photos inside. Part of a day trip to Petroplois from Rio de Janiero.

Some great history! No photography is allowed inside, you have to ware slip on shoes over your shoes to walk inside. It’s a smaller museum and doesn’t take much time to see everything. Towards the end there’s a small gift shop with reasonably prices things to buy( Jewlery, souvenirs and such)
Theres bag checks where you buy tickets because there’s no bags allowed inside.

Hello sudits,This is our emperors museum.It used to host and cool our Brazillian nobility long time ago.Summer down there in RIO,Brazil is extremely hot with it´s beaches.So,the emperor decided to build this castle for them to shelter while summer very high on the hills,with freezing temperature in the winter and only one hour driving from Rio,their oficial residences and palaces.
The whole Petrópolis town developed by their residences and castle.Was built sanctuaries,and many more castles and architectures for the other members of the emperors family.
It worths your visit,we normally visited there at weekends,always having lots of fun with the requirements and free time of our emperor back them like libraries,european architecture,many castles for his family and made Brazillian economy run from there,at his summer coolness and rest.
Today,Petrópolis is a touristic town,all run by this sector of our economy.It´s obeyed for the kids and schools visiting and knowing our past and history.All in Petrópolis have this mood of tourism and visiting.There are many enterprises and economies but somehow they are part of visits and guides and all at beer factories,clothes tradition and even the farms are second place for our emperors palace and city built for his cool summers here at the tropics.
The principal attractions are for sure the huge nobility that owned this country centuries ago,their huge castles,diamond crowns and all the nobility and most cultured workers following the emperor at his summer and coolness.
Quitandinha is one example of respect and necessaire our emperors culture and economy.Is a huge hotel,just like a castle,but built much later following his patterns and today hosting a museum just by the city entrance and showing much different the Rio with this huge construction never seen from many visitors.
I think one week is enough for you to know all,see the many hotels built for this ancient history and be in the past with queens,kings,princes and all the royal family at that epoque.
Good visit!
