UNIVERSITIES

POCINHOS

by Hosell

This is another nice option if you are in Campina Grande for a few days. In this small village you'll find another very interesting place to discover.....Parque Da Pedras,is another nice place with some huge stones,unfortunatelly during my visit to the town the park was closed,I don't know the reason.

INGÁ

by Hosell

Ingá is a small village,located very close of Campina Grande,the town it worth a visit,but for what Ingá is known very well in the world,it is about its famous "Pedra de Itaquatiara". Right now it is one of the biggest misteries in the country.This stone is covered with some beautiful and enigmatic engranvings of geometric shapes.This site is one of Brazil's most expressive archealogical monument,and if you are travelling through Paraíba and Campina Grande region,don't hesitate to see this beautiful place. Also the landscapes around the Stone are very nice and beautiful.

BEACHES

by Hosell

Because Joao Pessoa is located in the coastline,it has a very nice weather all year long.The city has about 40 kilometres of beaches,but the most important in the city are two: TAMBAÚ AND MANAÍRA,here you will find the best and most expensives hotels and apartaments in the city. This picture was taken at Tambaú Beach.

Go to Buzios

by ally923

Buzios was this really cute beach town. Very romantic. We stayed there only two nights and wished we didn't have to go back to Rio. There are a bunch of different beaches, some with waves, some without. You can take water taxies around to all the different beaches. The restaurants are all really nice and there are some trendy looking bars. Also lots of reasonably priced shopping.

Visit Iberapeura

by john&eduarda

The Park of Iberapeura is a beautiful park set in the middle of Sao Paulo where there are thousands of trees and beautiful lakes. Visit here at any time of the day, to relax and unwind and get away from the pressures and tensions of the big city. However, be careful, as with everywhere in Sao Paulo, you must watch your back at all times.
