Next, we will visit Praça das Flores (or Praça da República) and enjoy the lush vegetation. Afterward, we will navigate through the Green Maze, an area filled with cypress trees.

The tour continues at Casa Sander, established by Bohemian immigrants, where we will taste local delicacies including three jellies with crackers, toast, juice, and tea.

Then, we will visit the Jardim do Moinho, where history and gastronomy converge, and a cosmetics store offering products made with rosehip oil.
