Aparecida Essentials

Aparecida is Brazil's premier pilgrimage destination, centered around the Basilica of the National Shrine, the world's second-largest Catholic church. This collection highlights the city's spiritual core, including the 19th-century Old Basilica and Porto Itaguaçu, the 1717 discovery site of the Virgin Mary statue. Key features include the Passarela da Fé bridge, the Bondinho cable car to Morro do Cruzeiro, and the extensive grounds of the Sanctuary complex.
