Incredible place. By entering the garden one can feel the healing atmosphere. There is a small shop where you can buy souvenirs to take home to friends and family in spiritual need.

Igreja Santa Rita de Cassia

Reviewed By Pedro2023 - Campinas, SP

É uma bela igreja católica, mais moderna, com belos vitrais. Especula-se que, exceto a figura central do vitral - Nossa Senhora, todas as outras estariam retratadas mulheres da sociedade campineira, que doaram dinheiro para a construção.

Nossa Senhora da Conceicao Metropolitan Cathedral

Daily 7am-7pm

Reviewed By funpower - Montreal, Canada

This Cathedral is a thing of beauty inside. You find the most wonderful wood carvings and sculptures made of "Jacaranda Wood". This is the tree or bush that you see with those beautiful blue (purple) flowers everywhere in South America. We were unlucky there was a mass in progress so we could not admire as we would have liked to. They say it was built in the 19th century in a technique called "taipa de pilas" meaning using clay and rocks. The outside was in restoration therefore covered up so we could not admire it. Go visit when in Campinas it is definitely worth it!

The D.Pedro Shopping is one of the largest in Brazil with a huge food court, many movie Theater Screens, all kind of stores and many slow food restaurants.
Great to shop. Even though they dont say anything, the right side you have more expensive stores aimed at the A class and the left side is more aimed at the B class with more accesible stores in general. There is a walmart at the end of the left side

Pedreira do Chapadao

Reviewed By mauronr - Sao Paulo, Brazil

It's an old and deactivated quarry that was transformed in a park and a venue for open air events. They have some Concerts there once in a while.
Its official name is "Praça Ulisses Guimarães", but everybody calls is "Pedreira do Chapadão" (Chapadão's quarry, "Chapadão" being the name of the neighborhood.)
There's not much to do besides walking. It's a pleasant walk, though. Good to bring kids of any age. There is some playground equipment like swings, slides and seesaws.
There's an ice cream shop in the park and a couple of other places to eat and drink across the street.
