At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Sítio Cultural Museu da Estância. From there, we'll depart for the Itaimbezinho Canyon, a key natural site in southern Brazil.

After an hour's drive, we'll arrive at the foot of the Serra do Faxinal, where the Tropeiros Route begins. We'll explore the history of the tropeiros during a 3-kilometer (1.8 miles) walk along the canyon to the Elbow viewpoint.
