If you are looking for a nearby sightseeing, Mariano's Blooming Garden is a good place to visit. The place is famous in Tupi so you can just ask the bus to drop you off where the sunflowers are.

I enjoyed the parakeets by the way, just don't let the adult ones bite your finger because that would be terribly...

The staff are friendly and business like who handled our ordered food well. The sunflower farm is vast and well tended. Went around and bought flowers, organic vegetables and herbs for my own garden at home. The aviary is also very nice. Charges an additional 50 pesos though in addition to the entrance fee of 75 pesos per head. I saw two old tractors and it would be nice to have it restored and put in a shed to have it preserved for...
