About Parque Centenário
The Parque Centenário, also known as Jardim das Preguiças, is a tree-lined area in the center of Barra Mansa. Its landscape history is linked to Auguste Glaziou, and the space is part of the ensemble near the Palácio Barão de Guapy.
Follow the available paths observing the trees and the relationship between the garden and the buildings. The visit offers a central pause, but also allows you to read a historic landscape used by residents. Interest does not depend on seeing animals at a given point or recognizing each species without guidance.
Respect the vegetation and keep your distance from any wildlife that may appear. Do not offer food and do not step into planted beds to take photographs. Circulation may vary with maintenance and weather conditions; adapt the walk to the authorized route. On hot days, breaks help to enjoy the outing, without assuming that all sections have shade or equally comfortable surfaces.
