Discover Antônio Prado

a picturesque city that delights all

Discover Antônio Prado – Gaúcha Mountains, a picturesque city that delights all, where the past and the present meet amidst the largest collection of Italian immigrant architecture, a protected national heritage site. Enjoy a unique experience in Brazil's most Italian city!

 

The city of Antônio Prado is part of the Grape and Wine Region and it has the largest and most complete set of Italian colonist architecture in Brazil. In and around the city, it is normal to run into residents speaking in Talian, a local language that mixes Portuguese and Italian.

 

In addition to the buildings that are part of the region's historical heritage, Italian immigration is also found in the abundant typical Italian cuisine available at restaurants, cantinas, religious festivals and events, which have made Antonio Prado "Brazil's most Italian city." It isn't by chance that the city was chosen as the backdrop for the award-winning Brazilian film O Quatrilho, with most of the scenes filmed in the region.

Antônio Prado also has the amazing landscapes of the Gaúcha Mountains, formed by pretty valleys and nature scenes that can't be missed, like the Antas River Valley and the Prata River Valley, where trails and rural roads can be taken to a series of waterfalls, grottoes and caves that will give visitors a true immersion in the region's preserved nature.

 

The city's landscape also contains elements of the typical colonial agriculture practiced by Italian descendents that occupied the region's areas, conserving elements brought from the homelands, like vines, home architecture, the organization of farms and stone walls, among other things, which are now part of rural tourism in the region.
