Reviewed By DanieMilaneto - Sao Carlos, SP
Ponto turístico da cidade é uma Catedral imponente e muito bela, a noite sua cúpula é iluminada deixando-a ainda mais bonita. Esta Catedral é a mais tradicional da cidade e é muito procurada para a realização de casamentos ( é muito difícil conseguir data para a realização de casamentos devido a esta alta procura).

This Morro do Cuscuzeiro is in a private farm, and it costs R$ 8,00 to spend all time you want there. There is a large place for camping, bathrooms, parking place and two main trails. One of them takes you to the Morro do Cuscuzeiro, an exciting climbing! I found it hard for children. This trail in fact takes you to the base of that rock you see on photos, climbing to the very top is just for climbers. But from that base you can have a very beautiful view of the city and surrounds! It´s worthwhile!
The other trail takes you to a small pool. Unfortunately I couldn´t reach it, because there was cattle in the middle of the trail, and of course I was afraid! I think they should prevent them to be there... I lost this opportunity...
They offer horse riding, and soon they will open a small water park there too.
It´s easy to arrive to this farm, around 2km from the city.

This place is open to view the night sky from friday to sunday 8 to 10 pm (also open during the day, some weekdays). Phisics students monitor the visit and give conferences on saturday. The telescopes are not very modern, but it is worth a look.

Parque Ecológico de São Carlos offers to you ... Preservation, Education and Leisure! Come and visit us! Mission Preserve, conserve and educate, protecting Native Fauna and South America. Description The area where the Ecological Park of San Carlos was created, was to the 60's, a public pool, known as the Municipal Pool Espraiado and the remnants of this era can be seen in the current Lake Patos. Later, during the 70s a Foundation was created and deployed, receiving the name of FUPESC, its inauguration was held on September 9, 1976, the date that the Ecological Park adopted as inauguration and birthday. In the mid 80s, the Ecological Park passed control to the City of San Carlos and in 1989 a Master Plan, which outlined a philosophy of work, to handle and study the Brazilian fauna and conserve biodiversity was prepared by research and environmental education. The Ecological Park of Sao Carlos, known as CFSP has the name of a recognized Medical Veterinarian, Dr. Antonio Teixeira Vianna, who among other achievements created the breed of cattle Canchim along EMBRAPA of San Carlos. Joined definitive IBAMA in 1991, currently offers the CFSP population contemplative leisure and environmental education by attending schools with guided tours, courses, lectures and Exhibitions. To create an attractive and playful environment, facilitating learning, the enclosures that house the various species of wild animals are acclimatised according to their biomes such as the Cerrado and the Plain Patagonia. The CFSP provides well being of the animals under their care and this can be seen with the reproductive success of several species, including endangered species such as the Golden Lion Tamarin, Black Lion Tamarin, tapir among others. Beyond the area of multiple use, where the enclosures of animals, the administrative departments, veterinarian, nursery, kitchen animal and environmental education center are located, the park also has an area of permanent preservation, which is located to the east of fountainhead of Espraiado, which still provides good quality water and the residents of San Carlos.

Great place to spend a weekend afternoon. If you arrive around noon the restaurant is open with typical farm food. Then from 12h to 17h it is possible to visit the house/palace of the farm. It is possible to walk around where the slaves were kept and where coffe was treated after harvest. During the week it is also possible to visit, but you would have to book in advance. It is accessible only by car, and part of the road is not paved, around 20 min from the city.

O Museu, localizado no centro da cidade, tem como principal objetivo ampliar o horizonte da ciência (principalmente a física) para um âmbito prático. Com vários experimentos, é possível entender os mais variados conceitos da Física de uma forma lúdica e educativa. As educadoras são atenciosas e o local é acessível tanto para o público cego quanto para o público surdo, pois conta com placas em Braille e videoguia. Além disso, apresenta uma exposição de Paleontologia com fósseis em um ambiente temático. Ótima atividade para se fazer com a família!
