The tour takes place in a family-friendly location, Parelheiros; the tour lasts about an hour and arrives at the shores of Billings
While Brazil’s nerve center trembles not far from the Bllings Dam, a 75-horsepower red tractor calmly passes through plantations of cassava, ginger and peanuts in the capital of Sao Paulo.
In this sort of microworld, alien to the chaos of the city, São Paulo continues at a different pace.
Located in Parelheiros, in the far south of the capital São Paulo, the The Roça Park It is a family-run farm, known for its tractor rides through the plantations of this 14-hectare property.
“People like driving the tractor because it’s something different. People only see it on television, on Globo Rural, they don’t see it live,” explains Joaquim dos Santos, the farmer responsible for the tour.
It all started as a game to entertain the children of Joaquim’s “his” family. Soon the adults arrived, “who like it more than the children”. Then came one of the most unusual tourist experiences in the capital of Sao Paulo.
The tour lasts approximately one hour and continues to the shores of Billings, one of the major bodies of water in the St. Paul metropolitan region. Back at the Roça Park headquarters, there is still time to taste the organic products during the lunches offered on site and take short trails or carriage rides.
“The tourists are amazed and are in no hurry to leave. It’s as if they came here to renew their energy with nature,” describes Patricia Garcia dos Santos, entrepreneur and Joaquim’s daughter.
