Our city, Porto Alegre

A multicultural metropolis, Porto Alegre is the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul and was colonized by several European nations. Due to this mixture, it was founded on the basis of rich history and culture with secular traditions, “peculiar” food, and clothing and accents very particular to the South of the country.

If you like beautiful landscapes, Porto Alegre is one of the most woodland covered cities in the country. The huge Farroupilha Park is one of the favorite spots of gaúchos (people born in the South region of Brazil) for social engagement, leisure and for playing sports.

In Cidade Baixa you find most of the bars, nightclubs, and restaurants. Speaking of food, the gaúcho barbecue is famous throughout the country.

But there is nothing more emblematic of the people of the south than chimarrão, a hot beverage made from yerba mate and the pine nut (Which forms the base of many local recipes) served in a gourd cup.

Porto Alegre is one of the cities where Brazil will amaze and surprise you in every detail. It is worth the visit!
