The person in charge of the Center is Pastor Jorge Wedlinger, who together with followers of his Church, raised the project that now also aims to become a center for spiritual tourism and science, even intended for schools.
“I’ve been thinking about it for 40 years, we slowly built this up and today we are ready to show it and open it to the rest of the community,” Wedlinger said. Very close to the pool there is an amphitheater and stages equipped with audio, surrounded by springs and majestic native vegetation, even with grass, tea and pine trees to teach tourists who do not know the missionary species.
