(...for thos who) take a closer look at it
esta é uma expressão que traduzida literalmente não soa bem em Inglês
the literal translation would be "for those who see it with eyes that see".
You can't use it really.
I suggest you use something like:
...for those who tale a closer look at it...

sorry for spelling mistake. It should read: (...for those who). I missed an \"e\"

impossible to do a literal translation but I hope this comes pretty close to what you are looking for here.

for those who have eyes to see
I think this is the most literary-idiomatic rendering. I can't come up with documentation, but this is a "saying" in English. You could also say something quite different, if it fits the rest of the text, such as "for those who come with an open mind"

: This is what I have always heard. The expression implies willingness on the part of the "seer" to take in the sights - as does the sentence in Portuguese.

for those who wish to find it + other suggestions
Changing the nuance slightly, I think the following might work:
...for those who wish to find it.
...for those who come here with their eyes open.
[By the way, I'm aware that 'veem' is from ver not vir, but I feel that 'come here...' works here.]
...for those who wish to find it.
...for those who come here with their eyes open.
