Tourism
Pedra do Santuário (Sanctuary Rock) is Pedra Bela's main tourist attractions. It features a small chapel[3] at its top and the remains of a trench used by Paulista troops as an observation post overseeing the border with Minas Gerais state during Brazil's Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932.
Pedra do Santuário also features one of Brazil's - and the world's - longest zipline[4][5], 'Mega Tirolesa', with close to 2 kilometers in length, from the rock's top to the foot of the hill where the city is located.
Media
In telecommunications, the city was served by Telecomunicações de São Paulo.[6] In July 1998, this company was acquired by Telefónica, which adopted the Vivo brand in 2012. The company is currently an operator of cell phones, fixed lines, internet (fiber optics/4G) and television (satellite and cable).[7]
