Porto Alegre, Brazil

Located on the banks of the Guaíba River, Porto Alegre is the economic and cultural heart of southern Brazil. A city of tree-lined parks, historic markets, and sunsets so beautiful they've become postcards.

Founded in 1772 by immigrants from the Azores, it grew as a river port and today boasts universities, museums, and a vibrant creative scene. Gaucho culture (mate, churrasco, and regional music) sets the pace and defines the city's hospitality.
