Description
Embark on an enchanting journey through the European Valley in southern Brazil. Our adventure kicks off in the picturesque city of Blumenau, nestled along the scenic Itajaí-Açu River. Here, you'll be immersed in a European ambiance, complete with architecture deeply influenced by German heritage. Our first stop is the delightful Jardim da Cerveja, home to the Museu da Cerveja, a treasure trove of beer history in the city. Next, we'll explore the charming old Railway, now transformed into the city hall, and visit the iconic Catedral Metropolitana, a visual masterpiece inaugurated in 1958. Then, we'll venture to Vila Germanica, a village-like enclave that mirrors the idyllic hamlets of Germany. This locale hosts renowned festivals like Oktoberfest, the Brazilian Beer Festival, Sommerfest, and many others. It's also where we'll relish in a delightful lunch.
Our journey continues to Pomerode, hailed as the most German city in Brazil. Here, you'll trace the half-timbered route, witnessing houses constructed with intricate wooden joinery, a technique directly imported from Colonial Germany. A visit to the Porcelain Schmidt store, boasting 70 years of history, offers the chance to acquire exquisite porcelain mementos. Explore the city's Museum and Zoo, a sprawling BioParque showcasing over 240 species across a thousand animals. We'll then journey to Parque Vila Encantada, a dinosaur-themed attraction perfect for families. Finally, our tour culminates at Cervejaria Artesanal, where the art of brewing bears a distinct German touch. This immersive experience promises a tapestry of European culture and history in the heart of Brazil.
