Day Trip to Nova Petrópolis

We’ll meet at the meeting point in Canela or Gramado, depending on your booking choice, and depart for Nova Petrópolis. The first immigrants arrived in 1858 from Pomerania, Bohemia, and Saxony. Upon arrival, we will explore this history at Pedras do Silêncio (Sculpture Park Silent Stones) and visit Aldeia do Imigrante to learn about German settlement.

Next, we will visit Praça das Flores (also known as Praça da República) to appreciate the lush vegetation. Following this, we will explore the Green Maze, navigating through cypress trees.

The tour continues at Casa Sander, a family-run agribusiness established by Bohemian immigrants, where we will sample three jellies with crackers, toast, juice, and tea.

We will then proceed to Jardim do Moinho, a site combining history and gastronomy, and visit a cosmetics store specializing in products made with rosehip oil.

The day trip will conclude 9 hours later back at the starting point.
