Take a meditative walk through the green gardens of Buddhist Temple while enjoying views over the city and Paraguay border. One of the biggest centers for meditation in Latin America, the temple was built on a riverbank in 1996. Visitors are drawn by the temple's serene atmosphere as well as by Buddhist architecture and intricately carved statues. The highlights include a 7 m (23 ft) tall sitting Buddha and four colorful bodhisattva statues riding elephants and dragons.

  • Was there for less than half an hour. The statues there are really big and impressive, well worth the visit and the temple itself is beautiful.

  • Ambiente calmo e tranquilo, cercado de muita natureza, com uma linda vista onde voce consegue visualizar a fronteira do Brasil com o Paraguai. Perfeito para quem busca silencio, paz e um ambiente...

  • Very beautiful serene place. If you are looking for some time out from the other holiday activities in Foz then this is a great option to come and spend some time.
  • Absolutely peaceful place. With a temple containing a bit of Buddhist culture. I wish there was a place to properly meditate. Free parking and entrance. Very much worth the visit
  • Beautiful quiet place. A great pleasure to walk barefoot on the grass :)
  • Very calm and relaxing place. It seems more a tourist spot though. There are several well maintained statues and the garden is well maintained too. It is a good place to visiting in between the other main attractions of Foz.
  • Impressive and beautiful place.You can feel harmony and calmness in this place.Entrance is free of charge,but donation optional.I personally believe supporting such places is necessary.
