city of Holambra

It’s definitely one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever seen, it has impeccable Dutch-style architecture.

Ideal for romantics, being located 2 hours from the city of São Paulo, being the furthest destination on this publication.

There are many things to do there, but my recommendation is to visit the windmill (Moinho de Vento). It’s possible to see inside it and also see a beautiful view of the entire city, and if you’re lucky you can watch the sunset.

Recommendation: try to get there early in the morning, because everything closes very early there, around 6 pm.
