Next, we’ll head to the historical centre of the city to visit the Old Basicila of Aparecida. Here, you’ll have 40-minutes free time to explore at your leisure or even do a spot of shopping. From there we’ll cross the Passarela da Fé, a 35-metre high walkway that connects the Old Basicila with the National Shrine. Opened in 1972, this was originally built as a means of getting between the two temples, however, the 389 metre-long walkway has become a tourist attraction in itself, with some devotees even crossing on their knees as a sign of gratitude.

It will take us around 20 minutes to make our way to the other side, and once there we’ll be able to explore the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida, one of the largest basilicas in the world. One of the highlights of the visit to this temple is the Sala das Promessas, which is sure to make an impression.

Later, you’ll have some free time to get lunch and explore the city. You could even get the cable car, visit the Tower Museum or visit Monte das Oliveiras. Finally, we’ll leave Aparecida and we’ll return to the initial meeting point in Sao Paulo.
