Itinerary
The history of German immigrants is retold through the Pedras do Silencio Sculpture Park. The Park has more than 80 sandstone works, created by three gauchos sculptors. The journey to know the sculptures is 400 meters and takes place in the midst of nature. Along this walk you will find benches and shadows to contemplate the silence that the sounds of nature bring.
We will also visit the Immigrant Village, where we will see the rescue of the entire history of the arrival of German immigrants
Pay a visit to Praça das Flores (Flowers Square), famous for the flowering plant beds of the season and for hosting the Green Labyrinth, which challenges visitors on a secret path amid cypress trees.
At Casa Sander, located in the Nine Colonies region - colonized by Germans from Bohemia, we will learn about the production of fruit, jellies and artisanal juices.
Then we will visit the Edelbrau Brewery, with themed rooms, stories of the region and the roots of the local culture, curiosities and many other attractions that introduce the public to the fascinating world of beer. From hops to production, the space provides a journey through the scents of the ingredients, the textures, the stories and the flavors of the different styles of Edelbrau beers.
Finally, we will stop for shopping at Mukli Alfajores, which handcrafts alfajores made with authentic Uruguayan Dulce de Leche.

About Canela
Canela is a cool highland town in Brazil's Serra Gaúcha, with a stone cathedral, waterfalls, canyon views, pine woods and a German-flavoured mountain feel.
Canela sits at about 800 metres on the highlands of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil, a few kilometres from its better-known neighbour Gramado. European immigrants, mainly Germans and Italians, settled the region from the nineteenth century, and Canela keeps the look of a mountain town, with timber houses, flower-filled gardens and a Gothic-style cathedral built of dark stone on the main square.
