Fazenda do Secretário

TIME : 2016/2/19 14:46:43

In its heyday, this sprawling 19th-century fazenda was home to half a million coffee plants. Today visitors can tour the neoclassical mansion, the finest of its kind in Brazil, with a grand European staircase, chapel and trompe-l'oeil paintings, and stroll the vast gardens, dotted with Parisian cast-iron sculptures. The fazenda frequently serves as a film location for Brazilian TV series.
