The interior of São Paulo hides unique and somewhat unusual attractions. Casa Torta de Tambaú is one of them! The building fools the visitor’s brain because of the way depth, perspective and the perception of balance are interpreted by the human mind.
The effect is so intense that, when walking through the rooms of the house, it’s common to feel dizzy and even lose your sense of direction. The sloping walls, uneven floor and objects positioned in a deliberately misaligned way confuse visitors, creating an environment where nothing seems to be in the right place.
Meet the crooked house in Tambaú:
Have you ever thought of entering a house that challenges your balance? In Tambaú, that’s possible. Its unobvious architecture, full of sensory illusions, creates a strange feeling of instability in visitors. Some have even fallen in! Without a doubt, this is not a tour recommended for people with labyrinthitis.
On the other hand, the attraction is a hit with children, who often run around and have fun in the house while trying to understand why it’ s so strange. Would you take on this challenge?
Beyond this attraction: what to do in Tambaú?
Located 3h30 from São Paulo, Tambaú is a small town, but full of tourist attractions to explore.
The town stands out for its strong religious tourism: it was the home of Father Donizetti Tavares de Lima, beatified in 2019. Today, the town houses the mausoleum and museum dedicated to the Catholic figure, and is also part of the Path of Peace Circuit.
In addition, Tambaú offers parks for relaxing and connecting with nature. There is also Fazenda São Geraldo, which offers abseiling down a waterfall. Ideal for those looking for more radical activities in the city.
