The local experience
The park is laid out around the railroad station opened in 1909, a building listed as a municipal heritage site. The tree-lined lawn has benches and a playground and hosts events throughout the year.
At the top of the hill stands the Igreja Nossa Senhora das Dores, reached by a path lined with the Stations of the Cross. The site hosts the final scenes of the annual Passion of Christ reenactment and has a panoramic view of the town.
At 665 meters above sea level, it's one of the state's free-flight ramps, used for paragliding and hang gliding practice. From the top there's a wide view of the valley and the surrounding landscape; visits require an appointment.
