What to do and see in Penha, State of Santa Catarina (SC): The Best Things to do

Reviewed By Shanestrips

Myself and my girlfriend went here for two days trip from February 10th to 11th 2020. I had only been to a couple of Theme Parks in the world but from what I heard about this one, you should not expect Disney or Universal style of entertainment. So expectations were low. We entered the park and used the 24hr bank atm to get money ( note to self don't use that as they have incredibly high charges for use, use Bradesco Bank ATM ????). Then it was into the park and on first impression it looked nice. We first went to the Pirate Island looked interesting as it turned out it was not so impressive,then there is a German town section as we were in the South of Brazil a lot of German heritage.Still was not sure about whether this would be a classed a Theme Park or a Cultural experience with entertainment. Then I went on a kids ride all 6ft 4" of me ( there was no line ). Okay enough of the small talk. Then we decided to check out one the shows and it was AMAZING ???? the Acqua show- had contortionists, gymnastic style flips and tricks and some edge of the seat stunts.A really well done show and this was a sign of things to come. Then it was off to the Hot Wheels Epic Show.Hot Wheels the kids car toys but bigger,louder, petrol fueled, adrenaline rushing entertainment.What a show really enjoyable and wildly fun ???? . We also tried the Big Tower a tower 80metres high that you get dropped at about 75 miles per hour towards the ground.Also over the few days I tried the other rides and twice on Firewhip (basically you get strapped into it and you it's a rollercoaster but with your legs whipping left right and centre as you go at 50miles per hour and it leaves you with such a rush). In total We seen 5 shows. Excalibur from the King Arthur Medieval world,where you get to have a sit down meal and you are royally treated to Medieval sword fights,games and hand to hand combat and the crowd get really energized and are involved all the while. The Madasgar Circus Show lots of fun,loads of tricks,dancing and acrobatics and also the piece d'resistance The Cowboy Show which tells the story of the man himself Beto Carrero. So much fun to be had for young and old even a few water slides you can get a good soaking on. There is a reason this is South Americas No.1 Theme Park.It knows how to bring the fun and is professionally done and credit to all the staff for bringing the fun and joy. If you are in Santa Catarina go.Vai,Vai.Muito Bom.
