Gramado and Canela

Gramado and Canela are two cities in Rio Grande Do Sul, one of the southern-most states in Brazil. They were settled by a lot of German and Italian immigrants, and the cities' architecture reflects that. You feel a little like you're in an Alpine village in Europe, instead of Brazil.

We took a tour of the two towns, and we saw a beautiful valley, waterfalls at the Parque do Caracol, and a chocolate factory. We also saw this strange museum, called Mundo O Vapor (Steam World), that commemorated a famous train wreck in Montparnasse, France - weird!
