A functional full-scale traditional Dutch-style windmill. At 38.5 meters tall, it is considered the largest windmill in South America.
This 1.5-hour van tour, leaving from the garden center shop, will take you to see the flower fields themselves, as well as point out restaurants and points of interest around town. Leave some time to have a look around the 10,000 sq meter garden center as well, as they claim to sell the largest variety of flowers in the country.
The largest flower festival in South America, bringing in some 300,000 visitors annually with traditional Dutch dance performances, fairground rides, lots of food and souvenir stalls, and of course lots of displays and sales of flowers.
The main attraction here is the flower pizza, but you may want to check in advance, as the required flowers are not available at some times of year. There is, however, a full menu of regular pizzas and side dishes, as well as a full bar and occasional live music.
Typical Dutch restaurant, serving a phenomenal jachtschotel (hunter's dish) with either filé mignon, rabbit, or duck, and a highly-praised eisbein, as well as a sate met pindasaus and dishes with mutton, grouper, and salmon. For a starter, try a frikandel and homemade bread with garlic paste, or miniloempias.
