13:20Planetario
Price: 6R
The staffs are extremely helpful, but obviously, they have to call up a special guy to explain to me why there is nothing to see for me. I got it, this is not a place for foreign tourists. Probably not even for locals... some equipment is not in working conditions... all captions are in Portuguese.
They tried hard, but there are some lacks of maintenance. Do not come here.

Around the lake is 7500m
The area surrounding the lake is safe and pleasant, day and night...
At evening, the trail is lighted, full of joggers and bikers and coconut sellers. The coconut drinks are cheap, from 2 to 3 Real. Walk or jog the 7500m, then enjoy a coconut, what a way to conclude a 7 week trip.
