You’ve no doubt heard of Thermas dos Laranjais. The water park is one of São Paulo’s favorites and makes São Paulo residents drive four hours just to relax in its thermal waters. But did you know that Olímpia, the city where it is located, has so many attractions that it is known as the “Brazilian Orlando”?
With a very high tourist potential, the city is a must for those who want to have fun on vacation. It’s a great place to go as a family, as there are attractions as far as the eye can see!
What to do in Olímpia?
In addition to Thermas dos Laranjais, which has more than 50 attractions and is the largest water park in Latin America, Olímpia is home to another great park: Hot Beach. There, visitors can even find artificial beaches. Thus, indulging in the heated waters is almost an obligatory activity when passing through the small inland town.
But you don’t have to get wet to have fun! The Wax Museum, Dinosaur Valley, Dreams Ice Bar and Orionverso Virtual World are experiences that complete the tour and make your trip even more special. The attractions are suitable for all ages, but are particularly popular with children.
When is the best time to visit this city?
Without a doubt, the best time to explore Olympia is in summer. Although the waters are warm all year round, this is when you can enjoy the outdoor attractions. On the other hand, prices tend to be more affordable in the fall and winter.
Maybe a 4-hour drive is a challenge for you, but did you know that an international airport is being built in Olimpia? The city is becoming more and more like the land of Mickey Mouse and, by 2026, it will be able to welcome tourists from all over Brazil and the world!
