Paty do Alferes
Paty do Alferes has tourist attractions that are icons of the economic power
exerted by the city at the time of the coffee period. Among them are the Fazenda
Pau Grande (Pau Grande Ranch), one of the most beautiful farms in Brazil,
which was a scenario for soap operas and the old Fazenda Freguesia (Freguesia
Ranch), transformed into the Centro Cultural Aldeia de Arcozelo (Arcozelo
Village Cultural Center). Another tip is to visit the Museu da Cachaça (Cachaça

some. During the Corpus Christi holiday, the Festa do Tomate (Tomato Festival)
is one of the most crowded events in the region.
