I loved the visit!

Oh how I loved being in the Basilica! The sunny day helped make everything more beautiful! It's a very special place. For those who are sensitive like me, you'll feel a very high vibration, you'll sneeze often. Beautiful place, grandiose, clean, extremely organized, a place of peace. We return home with renewed energy!

Very special for the heart

It was a walk I got excited about. The sanctuary, the chapel of candles, the nose of the cruzeiro... everything was very intense. The guide Felipe was excellent, patient and very respectful to everyone in the group
