Get ready for a unique experience specially designed for children who want to explore the world around them in an exciting and educational way. Our journey includes visits to incredible sites and activities that will awaken curiosity and joy in every little traveller.
First, we'll venture out on the zip line, a thrilling experience that offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Brotas' breathtaking landscape. With adrenaline and safety, the children will have the opportunity to fly above the treetops, feeling like true explorers of the sky.
Then we'll dive into the invigorating waters of the Jacaré Pepira River in an exciting rafting session. Guided by specialised instructors, the little adventurers will tackle the thrilling rapids, strengthening their team spirit and courage.
And for a special educational touch, we'll visit the CEU Foundation (Centre for the Study of the Universe), where children will have the opportunity to explore the world of science and astronomy in a fun and interactive way. With practical and educational activities, our young travellers will be inspired to discover more about the universe that surrounds them.
Brotas is a Brazilian municipality located in the interior of the state of São Paulo. In 2003, the Brotas Municipal Sustainable Tourism Law was enacted, the first in Brazil for adventure and nature tourism, serving as a national reference and inspiring the standardisation of adventure and ecotourism tourism in the country. Brotas received recognition from the Green and Blue Municipality Programme in 2008 and in 2014 was designated a Tourist Resort by the State of São Paulo.
The origin of the name"Brotas" remains unknown, although there are four theories about it: the first suggests a relationship with water springs, the second with grass sprouts that appeared after hikers passed through, the third relates to the characteristic cakes made in the region, while the fourth and most plausible hypothesis refers to the origins of Brotas' founder, Dona Francisca Ribeiro dos Reis. A descendant of Portuguese Catholics and a devotee of "Nossa Senhora das Brotas", it is suggested that she named the town in honour of the saint.
