The local experience

Discover Parque Aldeia do Imigrante
Opened in 1989 next to Praça das Flores, it's 28 meters across, with cypress walls over 2 meters high. The layout was inspired by the maze in Schönbusch Park, in Aschaffenburg, Germany.
A municipal free-flight ramp opened in 1989, it sits at 684 meters above sea level, about 4 kilometers from the center. The viewpoint offers a 270-degree view over the Vale do Caí.
The Linha Imperial araucaria is 35 meters tall and 2 meters in diameter, the second largest in the state by that measure. A tourist attraction since 1998, it was listed as a municipal natural heritage site in 2023.
