Program for companions

Undoubtedly, the most memorable postcard of Santos is its seven kilometers of beach, adorned by the largest seaside garden in the world, a title awarded by the Guinness World Records in 2002. This wonderful walk is home to more than 80 types of flowers and birds of various species.

This tour, which will begin at the Niemeyer Viewpoint at Ilha Porchat and end at Ponta da Praia, will take us to see more than 30 historical pieces, including the sundial, the stone lioness and the monuments to the immigrants, Saturnino de Brito and Christopher Columbus, among others. We will pass by the Pinacoteca Benedicto Calixto, the Embaré Church, and the Square of Flags. A mandatory stop will be to take a picture with the sculpture that celebrates the 100 years of Japanese immigration in Brazil, designed by Tomie Ohtake, as an ideal frame.

At the end of the tour, we will share a delicious lunch at the Mar del Plata Restaurant, returning afterwards to the hotels.

If we want to discover the heart of Santos, we cannot miss the places that marked its history and that today are strongly linked to tourism, gastronomy and leisure and that, together with the port activity, have become the economic sectors that have made the city grow the most.

We will visit the Cathedral of Our Lady of Rosario, the Church of Valongo, the Bolsa do Café and the Mauá Square, among other emblematic corners of the historic center.

And to wrap up the day with an exquisite lunch, we will enjoy a breathtaking view of Santos from Monte Serrat. It is four minutes of pure emotion, climbing 147 meters by funicular to see the old casino and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Monte Serrat, patron saint of Santos, built more than 400 years ago.
