Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Besides its privileged geographical location, the state of Rio Grande do Sul offers various landscapes. The diversification of its natural aspects, a mild summer climate and a winter that reaches low temperatures, with occasional snow on the plateau and highlands, means a permanent reason for a visit. The hospitality of its people, the good hotel network and the plentiful and varied food, makes Rio Grande do Sul a welcoming state.
From the seashore to the hinterland, from the Aparados da Serra in the north to the Coxilhas in the south and west, along the way from Torres to Porto Alegre, and from there to Uruguayan territory, in the radiant valleys of the Depressão Central, on the slopes of the Serra and on the plateaus at Cima da Serra - everywhere nature presents breathtaking scenarios.
But it is also necessary to observe the wealth, the peace, the serene beauty of the hinterland, contacting the small communities - places for work and leisure. The most typical cities in the various regions - Serra, Depressão Central, Alto Uruguai, Litoral and Fronteira Oeste - constitute an observation field for as many as wish an applied sociology lesson.
Today's "Gaucho” population, with a predominating European heritage, is vibrant, happy, relaxed and friendly. Besides, no other Brazilian state rivals Rio Grande do Sul concerning live frontiers.
The popular culture manifestations, the typical habits, the re-creations, the rich protein diet (churrasco, galeto, colonial soup), the good wine, the profusion of everything and everywhere, make Rio Grande do Sul a touristic attraction for all.
