Description

Explore the Brazilian Germany and witness its profound influence on architecture and traditions in the charming cities of Blumenau and Pomerode.
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.
