Things to Do in Aparecida

Aparecida is home to the Basilica of Our Lady Aparecida, Brazil's patron saint and the second-largest Catholic basilica on earth, drawing millions of pilgrims a year from every corner of the country. It's less a sightseeing stop than a genuine pilgrimage town, roughly two and a half hours from São Paulo toward Rio. Below is the top-rated Aparecida day trip tour.
