In and around Sao Paulo


Today we visited a large cathedral in a small town about two hours outside of Sao Paulo. It has become a pilgrimage place since hundreds of years ago a religious event took place (around the "Virgin de Aparecida"). The cathedral welcomes around 200,000 catholic visitors each weekend.....


The original very small village grew over time in an important religious tourism destination, including some boat rides at the river where the religious event took place long time ago...



Yesterday we were in Sao Carlos about three hours on the other side Sao Carlos visiting a very new campus of the IFSP where they will  be launching a unique aircraft maintenance training program.



This might be a program we can partner with together with the aviation applied degree program of Seneca College. Something to investigate during the coming months.
