O maior templo católico do mundo! Fantastic!
This is the Aparecida´s Basilica. It´s a really peaceful and beautiful place, but visitors should avoid holidays. The church gets really full of people during holidays and it gets hard to do prayers and walk around. It´s easy to go there by car from São Paulo. Roads are great!
