Images from our trips to the Holambra Expoflora and Atibaia
Introduction
Holambra is considered the national capital of flowers. An old Dutch colony, the city is the largest centre for the cultivation and marketing of flowers and ornamental plants in Brazil, accounting for about 40% of sales in the sector.
Therefore, the city was recognized in June 2011 as the National Capital of Flowers. Its name is a combination of the words Holland, America, and Brazil.
Located in the interior of São Paulo, the city strongly maintains the presence of its founders' culture in the architecture of its buildings, in the cuisine offered by its restaurants, confectioneries, and in the encouragement of typical dance groups, which gather around 300 members. How about adding a little more colour and flowers to your life? Come and join us for this beautiful festival!

Important Notes
The information below covers part of what is set out in our General Conditions. It is essential to read the entire document.
Withdrawals, Transfers and Cancellations by the client
The CONTRACTED PARTY shall refund the amount due to the Client, calculated on the total amount actually received by the Contractor, excluding the amount of commission withheld, which must be dealt with by the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.
in the event of any of the above occurring, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tour package, in the following proportion:
- When the cancellation occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the date of departure of the trip: 10% (ten per cent)
- When the cancellation occurs between 29 (twenty-nine) and 21 (twenty-one) days before the date of departure: 15% (fifteen per cent)
- When the cancellation occurs between 20 (twenty) and 01 (one) days before the date of departure: 30% (thirty per cent)
- If the passenger does not show up at the time and place scheduled for the start of the trip, 35% (thirty-five per cent) will be charged.
In addition to the fees and fines described above, the amounts already paid to suppliers to guarantee bookings, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contractor is only an intermediary in the contracting of tourist services, and is in temporary possession of the amounts received, because it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, sea and road transport, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.
For both road and air excursions, date transfers or refunds for unused sections will not be permitted.
Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has begun, passengers who abandon it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for services paid for and not used.
