Day Trip to Nova Petrópolis

We'll meet at the meeting point in Canela or Gramado, based on your choice upon booking, and set off on this excursion to Nova Petrópolis.

The first immigrants arrived in Nova Petrópolis in 1858, coming from Pomerania, Bohemia, and Saxony. Upon arrival, we'll review the history of German immigration by visiting Pedras do Silêncio (Sculpture Park Silent Stones) and Aldeia do Imigrante to learn about their arrival in the city.

Next, we'll visit Praça das Flores (also known as Praça da República) to appreciate its lush vegetation. The tour will then take us to the Green Maze to navigate through the cypress trees.

Continuing, we'll visit Casa Sander, settled by immigrants from Bohemia, where we can taste delicacies including three jellies with crackers, toast, juice, and tea.

We’ll also explore Jardim do Moinho, a space combining history and gastronomy, and visit a cosmetics store offering products made with rosehip oil.

The day trip to Nova Petrópolis concludes 9 hours later back at the starting point.
