With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Bauru, 40 miles away, has to offer. Portugal Square, Bauru Shopping and Municipal Botanical Garden of Bauru alone justify the drive. Don’t miss Botucatu either! Just 50 miles away, Shopping Botucatu Mall, Teatro Municipal and Museu de Arte Contemporânea Itajahy Martins are essential stops here.
