Touristic City of Barra Bonita

Bathed by a virtually clean Tietê River, Barra Bonita's main attraction is its lock, the first built in South America, created to overcome the 26 meters of the hydroelectric power plant named after the city. Tourists can take rides in boats for 100, 300, 400 and 700 passengers.
The Praça do Teleférico (Cable Car Square) is another interesting venue, with attractions such as paddle boats in the artificial lake, kart track and the Trade Fair Center.
Downtown, there is the Trenzinho Simpatia train ride, the Jardineira and the Barra Bonita tram, which takes a tour around the city's main touristic sites, such as the Artesanato square, Tietê River Memorial and the historic Campos Salles bridge.
