About Cais do Porto
The Cais do Porto is located in the bairro do Passo, on the banks of the Rio Uruguai in São Borja. The landscape brings the city closer to its river and presents a face different from the museums and monuments downtown. Observing the water, the banks and the local activity helps to perceive the riverine presence in the municipality's life and in the history of the border.
A visit along the cais can be done as an outdoor stay, paying attention to ground conditions and the river level. Reaching the bank does not equate to hiring a boat trip, crossing the border, or entering operational areas. Those activities, when available, are organized separately and are not assumed to be part of the visit.
Bring weather protection and choose an accessible vantage point. After rain or changes in water level, check local conditions before approaching the edge. The experience is focused on the landscape and the public use of the bank, without promising specific services to be in operation.
