Myself and my wife visited the the place and we were so pleased with the owners, their care for the place (and region) and for this piece of aviation and literature history that seems to be fading each day. We had so great discussions about the writer, aspects of our local history and so much more that time just flew pleasantly and made us want to come back again. It’s really worth it to visit and discover that part of our history and, especially, to share time with such wonderful hosts.

Mosteiro De Sao Bento

Reviewed By myom624 - Coquitlam, Canada

It was just quite amazing to see these "many colorful statues" of saints above the length of the main aisle on its both sides which is really the spectacle that stands out the most in my memory of this "overall ornate" church (really plenty of beauty, intricacies & elaborateness to see inside a relatively small area), and yes walking along the main aisle of this small church (which is just about a third of the long rectangular building of the Monastery where the other parts are off-limits to the public) was actually somewhat of a reminiscent of that along the main aisle of the much-bigger Metropolitan Cathedral in Santiago (where also right above the length of the aisle on both sides are saint statues not colorful ones like here but gold-glittered). And nearby, at just about a 5-minute walk (to the north which is in the direction straight out from this church) is Farol Santander with some outdoor balconies on its 26th floor for some great views of the city & where are also some exhibition floors including those with great displays of the bank that the building once was, and another 5-to-10-minute walk further north from that (through some cobble-stoned "pedestrian streets") is the square Praca da Se with the city's "main cathedral" Catedral da Se de Sao Paulo which is a pretty plain one inside except for its "huge pillars" but still a worthwhile visit especially right outside of it where there's a "big circle" like a compass or such & also a nice standing statue of St. Paul.

The tours are conducted by guards/soldiers and ours had interesting stories to share about the history of the fort. Can be challenging to understand if you don't speak Portugese. Beautiful views of Rio and the drive there is fun with plenty to see although the roads are narrow in places.

Parque Aldeia do Imigrante

The Park is the most prominent tourist attraction in the city. It was created to rescue and preserve the historic past of the immigrants who settled this region, predominantly German immigration.The park is divided into two spaces, the first being the Bavarian Village and according to the Historical Village, where we find a representation of the history of the first immigrants shaped Living Museum.

Parque Aldeia do Imigrante is a tribute to the brave, perseverant German immigrants who settled in this faraway land almost 200 years ago. The park not only keeps the German spirit alive, but serves as an encapsulated sample of German culture in Brazil. The entrance to the park fronts on Hwy RS-235 in the town of Nova Petropolis. The park is an easy 1 1/2 - 2 hour ride from Porto Alegre. My wife and I toured the park towards the end of the day. Unfortunately, our time was compressed, and we were not able to see all that this wonderful park has to offer. Parque Aldeia is perfect blend of nature, culture and history. Upon entering, we followed the sound of a live traditional German band playing under the shelter of an outdoor pavillion and outdoor cafe. Various German Brazilian couples were out on the dance floor enjoying themselves. As much as we would have enjoyed spending time with this lively crowd, we pressed on to see as much of the park as we could before it closed. Further on the trail, my wife and I descended to an idyllic lake with swan-shaped pedal boats. We continued up a trail to the old German village... which is comprised of various buildings "borrowed" from various small towns throughout the "Romantic Route."... including a church, school, bank and various other structures. I was surprised to see a model of the famous Wartburg (where Luther translated the Bible into German). My only regret is that we did not have time to enjoy all that Parque Aldeia has to offer. But, we are coming back soon to spend a couple of weeks in the Nova Petropolis area. A picnic at the park is on our agenda. The park is operated and maintained by the muncipal government. Entrance is a modest 18 Reales. One word of warning, though. Make sure you keep an eye on your metered parking, The attendants are quick on the draw. My wife and I parked about a block away from the park, but the municipal parking fee machine was another 100 yards away. We purchased time, but when we returned with our paid ticket, a notice of violation was stuck under the wiper. I managed to convince the young man that I had no intention of being a scofflaw and showed him my paid parking ticket.

Right on the ground floor of the iconic "Forte de Santo Antônio" and its "Farol da Barra" lighthouse, you will find a small and nice museum - the "Museu Náutico da Bahia". Administered by the Brazilian Navy, it displays a valuable collection of maritime items, including archaeological findings, nautic instruments and several miniatures. The fort and its lighthouse are really beautiful and were officially appointed, in 1938, as Brazilian National Heritage Monuments. You will certainly love your visit to these iconic postcards of Salvador! Enjoy!

Aurora Winery

AURORA’s story began in 1875 with the settling of Northern Italian immigrants in Brazil. Arriving in the Serra Gaucha in the south of Brazil, they found beautiful mountainous landscapes and a climate similar to that of their home country. Recalling their European culture and habits, the immigrants quickly resumed the ancient art of winemaking. On February 14, 1931, sixteen grape growing families from the city of Bento Goncalves in the Serra Gaucha joined forces to launch the groundbreaking venture that was to become the largest of its kind in Brazil: THE AURORA COOPERATIVE WINERY. Within a single year, the winery’s collective production amounted to 137,000 kg worth of grapes, laying the groundwork for a company destined to become not only the largest, but also one of the most technologically advanced wineries in Brazil. Today, the Aurora Winery lies in the heart of Bento Goncalves and is still the largest winery in Brazil. More than 1,100 families have joined the cooperative, in which production is supervised by technicians who maintain daily contact with individual families and assist them whenever necessary. The technical team, striving always to develop cutting-edge technology, is responsible for continually monitoring the industrial process as well as the quality of the winery’s final products. Aurora winery has maintained its privileged status for over two decades thanks to the company’s consistent modernisation of its production plant, the innovative technology of its units and the strict standards enforced throughout the production process. The extreme care taken during production, from planting the seedlings to bottling the product, is an essential ingredient in the recipe for the continued growth that Aurora has enjoyed throughout the years.

Despite limitations due to the covid-19 restrictions, the visit to the winery is worth it! It was free of charge, and no reservations were necessary, as the flow of visitors is reduced. We were received by a young host, employee of the Aurora winery, dressed in a traditional costume of the region, and she showed us the factory and explained about the history, the production process, and types of wines produced. At the end, one would normally participate in a session trying out the different products, but due to the protocols for the covid-19 pandemic, this was suspended. The tour finishes in the factory store, where all the different products are on sale, and at good prices. Worth the visit!
