Cambará do Sul Visit to Canyons Fortaleza and Itaimbezinho 740459726 Absolutely beautiful – breath-taking. It is really worth walking up to the very top, both at Fortaleza and Itaimbezinho. However, about 10 days ago there was a terrible accident at the top of Canyon Fortaleza: a buffalo attacked a group of tourists hurting seriously two ladies (the other managed to flee). Therefore, I would not advise going there until there is reassurance from the park administrators that measures were taken to prevent this situation from ever happening again. Moreover, I do not advise to take young children as there as many dangerous cliffs.

Nascemos para consolidar o trabalho na viticultura em produtos nobres, os quais para serem elaborados, contam com as características únicas do Vale dos Vinhedos e tecnologias disponíveis para extrair o melhor da matéria-prima. A escolha do nome Torcello é uma homenagem a uma pequena ilha italiana próxima a Veneza. Já a escolha do símbolo da Vinícola, Leão Alado de São Marcos, deu-se pelo fato de o Leão representar proteção. Dessa forma, o símbolo remete a proteção do Leão Alado sobre os vinhos por nós elaborados. Nossos vinhos, espumantes e suco são elaborados em pequena escala, buscando sempre a qualidade dos rótulos em detrimento da quantidade. Venha nos fazer uma visita. Será um prazer imenso te receber!

Apparently this site is normally overrun with tourists (one observation platform had a max capacity of 75!) We went in the middle of the week and it was extremely peaceful. Beautiful falls, well-marked paths, lots of signage (with some English). 50 reals for the family. Walking is very easy, but we didn't do the 700 step drop to the bottom. Glad we got to enjoy it ourselves.

Beautiful deep canyon carved into the edge of the plateau. It is a fairly rough dirt road leading from Cambara do Sul to the canyon, I arrived in Cambara too late in the morning to catch the (only?) bus that goes to the canyon, but I was very quickly picked up hitchhiking by some very kind locals. The short hike around the Northeastern tip of the canyon proved some nice viewpoints to see the canyon and waterfalls spilling into it. Unfortunately I did not have time to hike further around the Southwestern elbow of the canyon. All things considered, it is worth the trip, but would probably recommend renting a car, and seeing both this and the Fortaleza Canyon in the same day.

Located in a central park, this is a great way to walk off lunch. There are souvenir shops and a covered area here as well. This park is also a stop for tour buses.

The Park is the most prominent tourist attraction in the city. It was created to rescue and preserve the historic past of the immigrants who settled this region, predominantly German immigration.The park is divided into two spaces, the first being the Bavarian Village and according to the Historical Village, where we find a representation of the history of the first immigrants shaped Living Museum.

Parque Aldeia do Imigrante is a tribute to the brave, perseverant German immigrants who settled in this faraway land almost 200 years ago. The park not only keeps the German spirit alive, but serves as an encapsulated sample of German culture in Brazil. The entrance to the park fronts on Hwy RS-235 in the town of Nova Petropolis. The park is an easy 1 1/2 - 2 hour ride from Porto Alegre. My wife and I toured the park towards the end of the day. Unfortunately, our time was compressed, and we were not able to see all that this wonderful park has to offer. Parque Aldeia is perfect blend of nature, culture and history. Upon entering, we followed the sound of a live traditional German band playing under the shelter of an outdoor pavillion and outdoor cafe. Various German Brazilian couples were out on the dance floor enjoying themselves. As much as we would have enjoyed spending time with this lively crowd, we pressed on to see as much of the park as we could before it closed. Further on the trail, my wife and I descended to an idyllic lake with swan-shaped pedal boats. We continued up a trail to the old German village... which is comprised of various buildings "borrowed" from various small towns throughout the "Romantic Route."... including a church, school, bank and various other structures. I was surprised to see a model of the famous Wartburg (where Luther translated the Bible into German). My only regret is that we did not have time to enjoy all that Parque Aldeia has to offer. But, we are coming back soon to spend a couple of weeks in the Nova Petropolis area. A picnic at the park is on our agenda. The park is operated and maintained by the muncipal government. Entrance is a modest 18 Reales. One word of warning, though. Make sure you keep an eye on your metered parking, The attendants are quick on the draw. My wife and I parked about a block away from the park, but the municipal parking fee machine was another 100 yards away. We purchased time, but when we returned with our paid ticket, a notice of violation was stuck under the wiper. I managed to convince the young man that I had no intention of being a scofflaw and showed him my paid parking ticket.
