We already planned for many years to go to Holambra, but there was not much dissemination of scripts, because before the internet resources we now have with maps and tips, we did not feel safe for the visit leaving the final destination. This time, our destination was Porto Ferreira and we saw that a night in Holambra would make our trip more enjoyable! And we only had joys! The indications of the roads supplementing the information of the Wase, the stay at the Villa de Holanda Park Hotel, the tour and meal in the city and the tour of the flower plantations with the Real Tour were noteworthy!

Romantic place, good to walk and take beautiful photos, and renew the vows of casory, rs. But, in the festival season, be careful whether you are the type that likes cultural festivals or not, because Expoflora gives a node in the city! It is bad to transit both by car and on foot. This then, impossible, there is cinnamon. I suggest the agencies and tours. Worth a visit!

City of flowers, very clean, streets with European model houses. Good gastronomy I just noticed a bad smell in the air. Not that it was dirt or garbage. No! Very hot, good for those who like the heat!

Holambra is a true piece of Holland in the heart of Brazil, where the colors of flowers, the rich cultural heritage and the welcoming hospitality make every visit an unforgettable experience. A city that enchants the eyes, calms the soul and celebrates the beauty of life in every detail.

I went for a walk with my boyfriend last Saturday at Expoflora. However, since I already knew the city, I decided to make a different script with him, which I did not know. We arrived early and started by Macena, a beautiful, passionate place that guarantees excellent photos. Then, Moinho (difficult to park and it is not worth paying to climb), the waterfall square (beautiful picture for filming),Deck of love (we bought locked with our initials and kept in the harvested heart near the lake), We had lunch in a restaurant, sloping in the museum, Restaurant da Fazenda (excellent, took advantage of the Expoflora event, the kilo was around 110,00, food nothing extraordinary, there was no coffee to serve, only paid). And then, we entered Expoflora, a giant shopping center, whose focus was the trade and not the flowers, you can't see everything, so we made choices: museum, arrangement exhibition, typical dances, show on the stages and petal rain, which I was excited. I didn't eat anything in there and I didn't even park (75,00), I left the car on the street. After the petal rain, I went for an afternoon coffee outside of Expoflora. (If you leave you don't come back, which I found absurd) And I returned well the night. A beautiful and striking day with a different script. Only Expoflora is frustrating, does not justify the value.
Na próxima vez utilize o canal da cidade ou da própria Expoflora para fazer o seu feedback. Você não contratou os nossos serviços. Att. EQUIPE VIDA & ENERGIA
All very beautiful, well cared for and organized. Bathrooms in adequate quantity for the public, constantly sanitized. Expensive tickets, tumultuous entrance (not practical, digital + paper? I don't understand), food and drinks are expensive and you can't bring even water from outside - absurd! Some exhibitions do not receive much emphasis from the organizers (Van Gogh, Holambra Museum, Typical Dances). I'm glad I met you, but I'm not going back.
