São Joaquim Guided Tour

Pickup from your hotel will be at 9 am to begin a comprehensive tour of São Joaquim. This city is recognized as the national apple capital of Brazil and the tour includes insights on the significance of apple cultivation and various other curiosities as we explore its main attractions.

We will visit the Igreja Matriz de São Joaquim, constructed in 1935 with basalt stone transported from nearby hills. Subsequently, we'll see the Monument to Manoel Joaquim Pinto, an open-air area featuring several sculptures that narrate the municipality's history.

If you feel hungry, we will stop around noon in the city center for lunch at your own expense at a local restaurant.

After lunch, the tour continues to Praça João Ribeiro and Praça Cesário Amarante, along with the Municipal History Museum. We will visit Mirante dos Pinheiros, offering a panoramic view of the city and a field of monkey puzzle trees reaching up to 50 meters (164 feet) high.
