Top Attractions in Resende
💡 Buy a pastel from the kiosk on the east side — it's cheaper than the ones near the cathedral.
💡 Mass is at 6pm on Saturdays—locals are friendly and the service is short. Photographs are welcome, but avoid flash near the paintings.
💡 Visit during Saturday afternoon mass (17:00) to hear the choir. The side chapel has a small free art exhibition.
💡 Come before 10am to avoid the midday heat. The cheese vendor in the northwest corner often offers free samples of his fresh minas cheese.
💡 Go on a weekday morning to have the place almost to yourself; kids love climbing on the static steam engine out back.
💡 Bring your own food—the only kiosk nearby closes early. The best view of the water is from the wooden footbridge near the main entrance.
💡 Guided tours in Portuguese only; ask at the gate for the free schedule. Avoid lunchtime when it closes.
💡 The dirt road up is steep — drive a car with good ground clearance or take a mototáxi for R$5. Best at sunset.
