Entre-Ijuís – RS Destination Região das Missões
How to get there
Access to Entre-Ijuís' town center can be arranged by road transport. On the pilgrimage, confirm the support transfer to São João Batista and the route to Parque das Fontes, which are not a single urban visit.
How many days
Schedule the archaeological site and the chapel within the same rural access plan. Parque das Fontes and the Forqueta require time and specific local conditions, in addition to pilgrims passing through.
When to go
Choose weather conditions that favor outdoor visits. For the landscape at the confluence of the rivers, confirm access and water level; the pilgrimage also depends on the condition of the dirt roads.
Do you need a car?
São João Batista and other points are outside the urban center and require organized transfer. For the walk, transportation to the site is part of the supports described by the operator.
