Tour Description
Explore the European Valley in southern Brazil with us. Our journey begins in the city of Blumenau, nestled along the Itajaí-Açu River in the State of Santa Catarina. Here, you'll encounter a European landscape enriched by German-influenced architecture. Our first stop is the Jardim da Cerveja, home to the Museu da Cerveja, which chronicles the history and evolution of beer in the city. We'll also visit the old Railway, now the current city hall headquarters, and the Catedral Metropolitana, a city landmark since its inauguration in 1958, built to replace Blumenau’s original church. Next, we'll head to Vila Germanica, featuring homes reminiscent of German villages, and the venue for the renowned Oktoberfest, Brazilian Beer Festival, Sommerfest, among other city festivities. A lunch break will be enjoyed here.
Our adventure continues to Pomerode, celebrated as the most German city in Brazil. Discover the half-timbered route, where you can admire the unique wooden houses constructed without nails and filled with bricks, a design imported from Colonial Germany. We'll stop by the Porcelain Schmidt shop, boasting 70 years of history, where you can purchase exquisite porcelain souvenirs. Our itinerary includes visits to the city's Museum, the Zoo—home to a thousand animals from over 240 species and recognized as the largest BioParque in Santa Catarina. We’ll conclude our tour at Parque Vila Encantada, a dinosaur-themed park with attractions for the entire family, and the Cervejaria Artesanal, which showcases German-inspired brewing traditions.
