This tour was amazing! We went to so many historical places in Petropolis and we got to do some shopping. The tour guide Tete was very entertaining and informational.

One of the things that I appreciate and try to do more of, when I travel, is to take day trips. I am able to get away from the major cities.... whereevere I may be... I was traveling to Rio and wante...
