Additional Information

Located a distance of 120 km from São Paulo, Holambra is acknowledged as the biggest producer of flowers and plants in Latin America, comprising roughly 45% of the nation’s overall production. The city, with its abundant green spaces and characteristic architecture, subtly showcases its history, customs, and cultural heritage. The beginning of its establishment is traced back to Dutch immigration, which started to reach the former Ribeirão Farm in the late 1940s. Its moniker symbolizes the fusion of two nations and cultures, combining elements of Holland(HOL), America(AM), and Brazil(BRA).

Enchanting City - I was in Holambra yesterday, 20/04 and I simply loved it. It's a charming city. To stroll, rest, eat and enjoy some attractions. Unfortunately, I left home a little late and got there midday, I'm from São Paulo and it's a two-hour trip. Some attractions end between 5 and 6 pm and for those who go there at night, the tracks are not lit, so for those who are not used to it, the ideal is to arrive early, enjoy the day and leave before dark. That aside, the city is wonderful, lots of food options. We had lunch at the Lago do Holandês restaurant, which is a reference there, but very crowded. We waited more than 1 hour to enter the restaurant, and after we placed our order it took another half hour to arrive. Conclusion, we arrived at the restaurant at 2:30 pm and left at 5:00 pm. The ideal is to make a reservation, we didn't know that.

Beautiful city, well maintained and easy to walk around. - The city is beautiful. Very well cared for, clean and safe. In two days you can see the entire city (by car or bike). We followed a route passing through the Portico, Praça da Bandeira, Monumento dos Imigrantes, Mill, beautiful Praça da Prefeitura, Church, Rua Coberta, Deck do Amor and Boulevard, where there is a restaurant and also where it is possible to try delicious ice creams made from Lavender, Roses, Jasmine , Hibiscus among others at Cafeteria Rosas de Holambra (I highly recommend it). The next day, you can visit flower fields in the morning (I went to Macena Flores and loved it) and also Van Gogh Park in the afternoon. All locations are easy to park. At the entrance to the city there are several stores where you can buy flower seedlings, seeds and other similar things.
