Cambará do Sul Visit to Canyons Fortaleza and Itaimbezinho 740459726 Absolutely beautiful – breath-taking. It is really worth walking up to the very top, both at Fortaleza and Itaimbezinho. However, about 10 days ago there was a terrible accident at the top of Canyon Fortaleza: a buffalo attacked a group of tourists hurting seriously two ladies (the other managed to flee). Therefore, I would not advise going there until there is reassurance from the park administrators that measures were taken to prevent this situation from ever happening again. Moreover, I do not advise to take young children as there as many dangerous cliffs.

Nascemos para consolidar o trabalho na viticultura em produtos nobres, os quais para serem elaborados, contam com as características únicas do Vale dos Vinhedos e tecnologias disponíveis para extrair o melhor da matéria-prima. A escolha do nome Torcello é uma homenagem a uma pequena ilha italiana próxima a Veneza. Já a escolha do símbolo da Vinícola, Leão Alado de São Marcos, deu-se pelo fato de o Leão representar proteção. Dessa forma, o símbolo remete a proteção do Leão Alado sobre os vinhos por nós elaborados. Nossos vinhos, espumantes e suco são elaborados em pequena escala, buscando sempre a qualidade dos rótulos em detrimento da quantidade. Venha nos fazer uma visita. Será um prazer imenso te receber!

Apparently this site is normally overrun with tourists (one observation platform had a max capacity of 75!) We went in the middle of the week and it was extremely peaceful. Beautiful falls, well-marked paths, lots of signage (with some English). 50 reals for the family. Walking is very easy, but we didn't do the 700 step drop to the bottom. Glad we got to enjoy it ourselves.

Beautiful deep canyon carved into the edge of the plateau. It is a fairly rough dirt road leading from Cambara do Sul to the canyon, I arrived in Cambara too late in the morning to catch the (only?) bus that goes to the canyon, but I was very quickly picked up hitchhiking by some very kind locals. The short hike around the Northeastern tip of the canyon proved some nice viewpoints to see the canyon and waterfalls spilling into it. Unfortunately I did not have time to hike further around the Southwestern elbow of the canyon. All things considered, it is worth the trip, but would probably recommend renting a car, and seeing both this and the Fortaleza Canyon in the same day.

Located in a central park, this is a great way to walk off lunch. There are souvenir shops and a covered area here as well. This park is also a stop for tour buses.

From the imposing recreation of a very unusual train accident at the entrance, one would think this is just a train musuem. And though trains do play a special part in the attractions inside, it's a bit more than that. A young man in the 1950's started a hobby of recreating vapour-powered machines - and over time these were put in model settings representing several locations around the world which had influence in the history of energy generation. The guides/monitors, who are necessary for the visitors to get the full jist, are continously available, including some who lead English or Spanish-speaking groups. It's a brief, but truly educational and enjoyable tour. By the way, the machines are in working order and one, for example, creates paper for the visitors to take home as a memento. There are nice spaces for kids to experiment - not quite on the level of kids' museums in the US, but for Brazilian standards, above average. There is a simple train ride, which will be upgraded; the current one really is aged and though adults and kids go on it, it's more like a kiddie-ride. It's the only outside activity. Something else that will be improved is the lovely train model - which shows how one would have traveled by that form of transportation from the capital Porto Alegre to Canela (unfortunately, train transportation fell out of favor in Brazil in the 1950s). Currently, the trains aren't doing the rounds that fascinate kids and adults alike. We also enjoyed taking a family picture in the "historical photo" area. And the souvenir store actually had really reasonable prices, as it was doing a post-Christmas sale. All in all, a really worthwhile attraction to visit while you're in Gramado and Canela. Disclaimer: I know the current operations manager, who invited us. But we noticed the prices were not exorbitant at all (if you're a student, R$ 20).
