Day Trip to Igrejinha & the Khadro Ling Buddhist Temple

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Caxias do Sul at the indicated time, and head south of the city.

Our first stop will be at the Khadro Ling Buddhist Temple, one of the major Tibetan sanctuaries in Rio Grande do Sul. The temple, established in the 1990s, is located on a mountaintop and is maintained by a small community.

After an introduction to the temple's history, you'll have three hours of free time to explore this sacred site. The sanctuary, set amidst lush vegetation, is conducive to relaxation and meditation.

Next, we'll visit Igrejinha, a town that developed in the late 19th century due to the German immigrant population. You'll have another three hours to appreciate the town's Germanic heritage, enjoy the local cuisine, and shop for handicrafts.

Finally, we'll reunite in the center of Igrejinha and return to Caxias do Sul, arriving back at your hotel at around 7 pm.
