Day Trip to Nova Petrópolis, Gramado, and Canela

We'll pick you up at 8:30 am at your hotel in Caxias do Sul and head south towards three of the most beautiful cities in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul.

The first stop will be in Nova Petrópolis, a picturesque town where we'll learn about the legacy of German immigration in Brazil. We'll take a sightseeing tour of the city to see its main points of interest, such as the beautiful Praça das Flores.

We'll continue the day trip enjoying the stunning natural surroundings in Gramado. There, we'll contemplate the emblematic Black Lake, the Rua Torta, Praça das Etnias (Square of Ethnic Groups), and the Lago da Borges before heading over to the Vale do Quilombo viewpoint, where we'll get unbeatable views of the surroundings.

After enjoying the scenic views, we'll continue the route to Canela, where we'll visit the cathedral and walk through the main shopping streets of the city center. In Canela, you'll have approximately 40 minutes of free time.

The route will continue on the outskirts of Canela, where we'll see the Caracol Falls, an impressive 131-meter (430-foot) waterfall that won't leave you breathless. After admiring this stunning waterfall, you'll have the choice to visit the Skyglass platform or the Le Jardin Lavanda Park in Gramado. In both places, you'll have 2 hours of free time to explore at your own pace.

We'll then regroup and head to a chocolate factory to see how local cocoa products are made.

After this final visit, you'll have surely built up an appetite, so we'll return to the center of Canela, where you'll have an hour of free time for lunch. After lunch, we'll finally return to your hotel in Caxias do Sul, where we'll arrive at 7 pm.

Caracol Falls

Until March 1, 2025, Caracol Falls will be closed. In its place, you'll visit the Castelinho da Familia Franzen or the Aerial Cable Car.
