Hotels in Serra Gaucha, Brazil
Serra Gaucha is a mountainous region in southern Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul state, famous for its Italian and German heritage, wine production, and the colonial towns of Gramado and Canela. The climate is subtropical with distinct seasons: warm summers (December-February) around 30°C (86°F) perfect for hiking in the Canyons of Itaimbezinho, and cool winters (June-August) around 5°C (41°F) when you can cozy up in wine cellars tasting sparkling wines or visit the famed Christmas light displays. During spring (September-November), the hydrangeas bloom along the Caminhos da Colônia, ideal for cycling between small family-run vineyards, while autumn brings the grape harvest and wine festivals.
