The place is really a gold mine for the rare fruit lover. There are so many great seeds to collect. Members in Florida can fly there in just 8 hours to Campinas. Loranzi told me they are even willing to pick up people from the airport, which is only 40 minutes drive from the garden. The flight is 8 hours, much shorter than going to Hawaii, which from Florida is a 11+ hour flight. The only down side for Americans is that they need to get a Brazil visa. It costs $160, but is good for 10 years. While in Campinas you might also want to visit Helton and Sergio Sartori, the two largest collections of fruit trees in Brazil. Also fabulous places to visit.
