Discover one of Brazil's earliest Italian immigrant communities on this excursion to Antônio Prado, an essential destination for those visiting Caxias do Sul.

Excursion to Antônio Prado

At the scheduled time, we will collect you from your accommodation in Caxias do Sul to start our journey to Antônio Prado, recognized as one of the most historic Italian settlements in Brazil.

Once we arrive, a guided tour will take you through the city, showcasing its traditional wooden homes, which are honored as a National Heritage. You will surely be captivated by their vibrant colors and intricate lambrequins, a hallmark of local architectural style.

As we explore, we'll delve into the crafts and trades of the Italian immigrants who established the colony, many of which continue to thrive today. The conversation will also touch upon the religious celebrations that marked life in the early days of the settlement, offering a glimpse into the past.

Our next stop will be the Gruta Nossa Senhora de Lourdes, a natural cavern that features the image of the city's patron saint. You will immediately feel the serene atmosphere of this location. It's interesting to note that the Feast of the Grotto is among the many cultural traditions still observed here.

Afterwards, we will allow you some free time to enjoy lunch and savor the regional cuisine, or perhaps indulge in a bit of shopping. Once we regroup, we'll head to Canto do Encantador, an enchanting natural setting that supports a diverse array of bird species.

In conclusion, we will transport you back to Caxias do Sul, ensuring you return to your hotel approximately seven and a half hours after your initial pickup.
