Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Rio Grande do Sul is the southernmost state in Brazil. It's known for both cowboy culture and old-world Italian influences. It's also full of natural beauty. Spend a day at one of Rio Grande do Sul's national parks where waterfalls, rivers, canyons and even rare pine trees await. Or shop for local goods in Canela, where you'll find unique souvenirs and beautiful art. Looking for a bite to eat? Think Italian food. And grab a glass of the region's excellent Pinot Noir to go with it.
