Having been to a number of large American zoos, I wasn't sure what to expect in Brazil. The Itatiba Zooparque exceeded my expectations. While it's not as large as U.S. zoos, the natural surroundings and the number of animals native to South America and Brazil make this zoo a jewel.
2. Mosteiro Beneditino De Sao Bento

A modern building houses the Benedictine monks at a very pleasant location. Situated at the Rua do Observatório, a winding road at the highest point (so it seems) in Vinhedo, this is an isolated place that provides a welcome pause from the noise in the highways around the area. There is plenty of parking space in the front amid the Gardens. The interior of the monastery, with its concrete walls and ceiling, is quite austere. There is a shop where you can find a wide choice of religious items together with specialties such as bread, honey and marmelades.

Lugar muito bonito, o sítio possui loja que comercializa vinho, licor e suco de marca própria, tem degustação e muitos produtos de marcas da região, também uma cantina com salgados, doces, açaí, etc.
Pode-se visitar as plantações, melhor época para isso é de outubro em diante, pois várias frutas estão no auge da colheita, também tem alguns bichos (pavão, galinha, patos).
Consegui chegar porque já tinha um informativo que peguei numa feira. Poucas placas indicadores, mas o pessoal da cidade conhece e indica.

Ótimo espaço para distrair um pouco as crianças. A biblioteca é boa o suficiente para uso público. Os banheiros são muito bons e contam com estrutura para banheiro familiar.

A privileged place that provides a view of the surrounding valley, including most of Vinhedo. Following the tradition, there is a statue of the Christ.
The problem here is that a horrible, kitsch, green building spreads from the monument and crosses over the road. Such bad taste has a positive side: it is impossible to miss the site from the road. On the other hand, any beauty you expect to see from the view is destroyed when you have to look at the green thing.

Reviewed By Xistudo - Sao Paulo, SP
One of the greatest challenge for me is leaving the city of São Paulo and find good service (which is very difficult even here).
I visited Laroc Club yesterday with few friends and the sample was nice, enjoyable at the beginning. But as I were using the services such bar I noticed how little committed were few employees. The bar close the food truck for example had a guy with very bad education. The firefighters ignored many many smokers inside the closed environment.
The price of beverages were very expensive.
And it is far very far. So consider to hire a shuttle or rent a car.
Although the music was good, security was good, toilets good and clean. They have emergency rooms.
You can have fun there. But few improvements must be done.
