Sightseeing and Visiting. We contacted a tourism company, Central de Receptivo, e-mail, to program many sightseeings in Santos and vicinity. There are seven programs (with bilingual guides) that last about 3 to 4 hours (including a flight with delta wing or paragliding) and one visit to an indigenous tribe (for 6 to 8 hours). The prices range from 40 to 200 Reais per person and the sightseeings are available before, during, and after the conference (but don't forget about our scientific program!). The Central de Receptivo will have a booth in our conference. If you need to program a visit before the conference dates, email them.
