FGS Templo Zu Lai
Visit the largest Buddhist temple in Latin American installed in an area amidst greenery and surrounded by beautiful gardens with flowers, as well as preserved remnants of the Atlantic Forest with a small Japanese-style bridge.
The typical architecture of an Oriental Temple is a separate chapter making us feel as if we were in Asia. In addition, there are sculptures scattered everywhere, a museum, shop, and a vegetarian restaurant.

Embu das Artes
Following your visit to Zu Lai temple, visit the nearby charming town of Embu das Artes. It’s one of those inspiring and inland cities that travelers often visit when they want to see a different scenario fleeing from the rush of the big city.
It's most famous for its Crafts Fair, which takes place in the city's Historic Center, the fair has more than 700 exhibitors of different types of handicrafts such as ceramics, paintings, sculptures, handmade foods, and even clothes and jewelry. There are beautiful objects carved in wood and rustic furniture.
It’s lined up in the main square and radiating streets lots of cozy cafés and a myriad of eateries where you can dine on lunch and sample delicious Brazilian typical dishes and desserts. You can also enjoy the ever-popular cachaça, the so-called refreshing açaí, local yogurt, and other things. (not included in the tour price)
