Historical landmark
The Monumento em Homenagem aos Tropeiros is a beautiful tribute located on Avenida Julio de Castilhos in Sao Francisco de Paula. It was designed in 2012 by artist Edmilson Duarte Almeida to honor the tropeiros, who played a significant role in the city's settlement. This simple yet symbolically powerful monument masterfully portrays the saga of the drovers and offers an excellent artistic representation of Gaucho culture.
(Translated by Google) I was there on the morning of November 17, 2024. On the main avenue of São Francisco de Paula, among other monuments. A tribute from 2012 in recognition of the saga of the tropeiros who contributed heroically to the beginning of the settlement of the beloved land of São Francisco de Paula/RS.

Lake St. Bernard offers a beautiful and tranquil environment, reminiscent of the famous Black Lake. The 1.8 km cycle path with a perimeter street provides stunning views and allows for a peaceful and scenic ride or walk around the lake. Visitors can enjoy the serene atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for relaxation or socializing over some Chimarao. The area features picnic spots, decks, and small boats for a delightful lakeside experience.
Awesome place to get night, to share some gossip, or only to drink some Chimarão

(Translated by Google) The park is beautiful, but it's a shame our tour only lasted an hour and a half. It's not the park's fault; it was the organizers' mistake. So I recommend setting aside more time to relax and enjoy the park. I recommend walking if you don't have any transportation issues, because it's wonderful ♥ (Original) O parque é lindo, pena que nossa excursão só teve 1 hora e meia para aproveitar. Não por culpa do parque, foi erro das pessoas que organizaram. Por isso aconselho reservar mais tempo para fazer o passeio tranquilo e aproveitar para descansar e curtir o parque. Recomendo ir a pé se você não tem nenhuma questão de locomoção porque é maravilhoso ♥

A place for all ages. There's a stroller for those who can't walk much. The stroller price per person is a bit high. There are restaurants, picnic areas, and event spaces. According to the gardener, the best time to go is November. (Original) Lugar imperdível !! muito bem cuidado e as pessoas super atenciosas. Quem nos explicou sobre os jardins foi um jardineiro simpático e que se percebe, trabalha com amor pelas plantas. Lugar para toas as idades. Tem carrinho p quem não pode caminhar tanto.

Parque da Cachoeira is an environmentally conscious park that boasts a picturesque waterfall and a café. In addition, it offers campsites, cabins, and apartments for accommodation. While visitors have praised the peaceful and pleasant atmosphere of the park, some have expressed disappointment over the lack of a restaurant or snack bar to purchase food. However, the friendly staff and satisfactory cabins make up for this shortcoming.

(Translated by Google) Perfect! We spent the Carnival holiday extremely pleasantly surrounded by nature, literally shade and fresh water, a wonderful place with waterfalls and wonderful natural pools, the cabin is rustic equipped with the minimum we needed, delicious breakfast with products produced on site. Loud music is not allowed, which contributes to the peace that is offered on site, we fell asleep to the sound of the waterfall and woke up to a fantastic view. We went hiking, had a barbecue in the forest by the river, picnicked... In short, we reconnected with nature. I highly recommend it, we will definitely come back many more times. (Original) Perfeito! Passamos o feriado de carnaval extremamente agradável em meio a natureza, literalmente sombra e água fresca, lugar maravilhoso com cachoeiras e piscinas naturais maravilhosas, a cabana é rústica equipada com o mínimo que precisamos, café da manhã delicioso com produtos produzidos no local.Não é permitido som alto, oque contribui com a paz que é proposto no local, dormimos com o som da cachoeira e acordamos com uma vista fantástica. Fizemos trilhas, churrasco na mata a beira do rio, piquenique… Enfim, nos reconectamos com a natureza. Super indico, com certeza voltaremos muitas outras vezes.

(Translated by Google) We left São Chico and it took 40 minutes. The road was good, but there were a lot of potholes when we were 10 minutes away. Even though our car was very low, it went well, just drive slowly. The reception was attentive, Mr. Antônio explained everything, pointed out the most suitable bathing spot and even provided showers for children before leaving. We spent the afternoon there. It was good for children. My son is 2 years old and we were able to stay with him near the waterfall in a very quiet place to bathe. The cleanliness of the place was striking, with clean trails and clean bathrooms, which is rare in trailheads these days. We wanted to go back to camp or stay in the cabins. For food, they served fried pastries made to order. (Original) Saímos de São Chico e foram 40 minutos. Estrada boa, mas quando faltam 10 minutos para chegar tem muitos buracos. Ainda assim, mesmo nosso carro sendo muito baixo, ele foi na boa, é só seguir devagar. Recepção atenciosa, seu Antônio explica tudo, indica o local de banho mais adequado e disponibiliza até chuveiros para crianças antes de ir embora. Passamos a tarde lá. Bom para crianças. Meu filho tem 2 anos e conseguimos ficar com ele próximo à cachoeira num espaço bem tranquilo para banho. Chamou a atenção a limpeza do local, trilhas limpas, banheiros limpos, raridade em local de trilhas hoje em dia. Ficamos com vontade de voltar para acampar ou hospedar nos chalés. Para comer, tem pastel frito na hora.

(Translated by Google) A tremendous place in the middle of nowhere, one of the best experiences on the trip to Gramado. We went from Salinas, Uruguay. The landscapes are unique. The gravel road is easily traversed if you have a good truck. I don't recommend going in a small car. There are tricky sections with lots of rocks. The bridge is tremendous, and the views are amazing. When we went, the water flow was normal. A very nice experience. (Original) Tremendo lugar en el medio de la nada de las mejores experiencias en el viaje a gramado. Nosotros fuimos desde salinas Uruguay. Los paisajes son únicos la carretera es de ripio se hace bien si es en una buen camioneta mejor. No recomiendo ir en auto chico. Hay partes complicadas muchas piedras. El puente tremendo las vistas del mismos buenísimas. Cuando fuimos había caudal de agua normal. Muy linda experiencia

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, with lots of nature and beautiful waterfalls. We stayed at the campsite, among the trees, with a barbecue, a space for a campfire, and bathroom facilities. I missed having a shared kitchen. The park is well signposted, except for the Toca trail, which is really worth doing. I recommend the tour and the campsite :) (Original) Lugar lindo, com muita natureza e belas cachoeiras. Ficamos no camping, entre as árvores, tem churrasqueira, espaço para fohgueira, estrutura de banheiros. Senti falta de estrutura de cozinha compartilhada.

RL A — Google review
(Translated by Google) The forest is beautiful! An isolated place of urbanization, with a lot of nature, exuberant fauna, wonderful flora and amazing scenic beauties, such as the wedding cake cascade (photo) and the viewpoint of the waterfall of the plant. There is no internet or telephone signal to facilitate contact with nature, but care must be taken not to suffer accidents with snakes or falls, as the relief becomes more difficult. Many trails can be made, all well signposted. Some are longer and harder, others shorter and easier. There are accommodations where the visitor can stay (paying). There is no restaurant, so you have to bring your own food. A great place to take children and offer them greater contact with the land, fauna and flora! (Original) A Floresta é lindíssima! Local isolado de urbanização, com muita natureza, fauna exuberante, flora maravilhosa e belezas cênicas incríveis, como a cascata bolo de noiva (foto) e o mirante da cachoeira da usina. Não há internet ou sinal telefônico, para facilitar o contato com a natureza, porém deve-se tomar cuidado para não sofrer acidentes com serpentes ou quedas, já que o socorro fica mais difícil. Muitas trilhas podem ser feitas, todas bem sinalizadas. Algumas são mais longas e difíceis, outras mais curtas e mais fáceis. Há alojamentos em que o visitante pode ficar (pagando). Não tem restaurante, então é preciso levar a própria comida. Um local ótimo para levar crianças e oferecer a elas um maior contato com a terra, fauna e flora!

(Translated by Google) The place is well maintained and clean, but there could be more signage to guide the route. However, the waterfalls were a disappointment, being smaller than expected. I suggest a more precise description of the place to manage visitors' expectations. For those looking for small waterfalls and shallow areas for swimming, the tour may be worth it... for those who really want waterfalls, not. I consider that the cost-benefit is not advantageous, and there are better options in the region. (Original) O local está bem conservado e limpo, mas poderia ter mais sinalizações para orientar o percurso. No entanto, as cachoeiras foram uma decepção, sendo menores do que o esperado. Sugiro uma descrição mais precisa do local para gerenciar as expectativas dos visitantes. Para quem procura pequenas quedas d'água e áreas rasas para banho, o passeio pode valer a pena... para quem quer cachoeira de fato não. Considero que o custo-benefício não é vantajoso, havendo melhores opções na região.

The ecological reserve itself is wonderful, but the extremely unfriendly receptionist, looking us over from head to toe, told us that the way we parked meant we were just curious, that it was like that at that time, and that the trail would be better than idle time. Clueless. The smell of cigarette smoke was very strong. Not welcoming at all. The person doesn't fit in with the place. A shame. (Original) Atendimento péssimo. A reserva ecológica em si é maravilhosa, mas a recepcionista extremamente ostil, olhando dos pés a cabeça, nos disse que só pela forma que estacionamos éramos apenas curiosos, que era assim naquele horário, que a trilha seria melhor do que ficar fazendo os nossos programas ociosos . Sem noção. Com cheiro fortíssimo de cigarro. Nada receptiva. A pessoa não combina nada com o local. Uma pena.

(Translated by Google) The São Francisco de Paula Gate is located at Av. Júlio de Castilhos 2021. It was inaugurated on September 16, 2019 and is the gateway to the small and friendly mountain town. It is also one of its tourist attractions, as it was inspired by the town's own characteristics, featuring elements such as the mud walls and the leaves of the liquidambar tree, which displays beautiful foliage during the fall and winter. The Gate is made up of two towers with stone cladding and steel plate panels, materials that require little maintenance. It also has openwork designs that create light and shadow effects. (Original) O Pórtico de São Francisco de Paula fica localizado na Av. Júlio de Castilhos 2021, foi inaugurado em 16 de setembro de 2019 e é a porta de entrada da pequena e simpática cidade serrana, também se constitui em uma de suas atrações turísticas, pois foi inspirado em características próprias do município, trazendo elementos como os muros de taipa e as folhas da árvore liquidâmbar que apresenta uma folhagem lindíssima durante o outono e inverno. O Pórtico é formado por duas torres com revestimento de pedra e painéis em chapa de aço, materiais com baixa necessidade de manutenção, também possui desenhos vazados que criam efeitos de luz e sombra.

(Translated by Google) Monument dedicated to the region's typical drink, located on the main street of São Francisco, a street that is worth visiting, especially when the plane trees turn their leaves into ochre and reddish tones. In addition to this monument, others adorn the central sidewalk, and on the sidewalks there are some very interesting houses worth seeing. It is worth taking a walk there. (Original) Monumento dedicado à bebida típica da região, localizado na rua principal de São Francisco, rua essa que merece ser conhecida e visita, principalmente na época que os plátanos ficam com sua folha em tons ocre e avermelhados.

City park
Parque Natural Municipal da Ronda is a must-visit destination along the Caminho das Araucarias. It offers unique landscapes alongside the Santa Cruz River, featuring an easily accessible waterfall and stunning mountain hill viewpoints. Visitors can explore most of the area by vehicle, making it convenient for families. The Rondinha Waterfall and Solidade Viewpoint showcase breathtaking scenery, providing a peaceful and tranquil experience in the midst of lush nature.
(Translated by Google) The park is beautiful, with lots of nature, nice for a quick visit, as there is not much to do. It is open every day, entry is free, there is no structure, and there are bathrooms. (Original) O parque é bonito, com bastante natureza, legal para dar uma passada rápida, pois não tem muito o que fazer. Abre todos os dias, a entrada é gratuita, não tem estrutura, possui banheiros.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful park almost in the center of São Francisco de Paula. It has a mini canyon, a waterfall, and trails that lead to a viewpoint. There is a staircase that makes access easier, and parking is close to the start of the trail. A beautiful place to spend the afternoon with the family. It is worth taking a chimarrão and enjoying it. (Original) Um parque lindissimo quase no centro de sao francisco de paula. Conta com mini canion, cascata, trilhas que levam a um mirante. Tem uma escadaria que facilita o acesso, estacionamento proximo ao inicio da trilha. Lugar lindo pra passar a tarde com a familia. Vale a pena levar um chimarrão e apreciar.

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful place, easy to get to and great for a family outing. The location includes the Rondinha Waterfall and the Mirante da Solidão, with its incredible landscape. We didn't pay an entrance fee, and it's not far from the center of São Chico. (Original) É um belo lugar, de fácil acesso e ótimo para ir com a família. No local contém a Cascata da Rondinha e o Mirante da Solidão, com sua paisagem incrível. Não pagamos entrada, e não fica longe do centro de São Chico.

(Translated by Google) There is a structure right at the information center. Parking is further ahead. There are stairs that take you to the Rondinha Waterfall. And there are also trails to do. For next year they have a really cool project, creating a large trail around the place. A part of the place, in this case, inside the Park. It will be amazing. (Original) Tem estrutura logo no centro de informações. Estacionamento mais em frente. Tem escadas que ti leva até a Cascata da Rondinha. E tem também trilhas pra fazer. Pro ano que vem estão com um projeto bem bacana , fazendo uma grande trilha circundando o local. Uma parte do local, no caso dentro do Parque. Vai ficar show.

Sergio B — Google review
(Translated by Google) A great place for a stroll surrounded by nature, right next to the center of São Francisco de Paula. It's worth bringing some chairs, a cold drink and enjoying the sunset over the dam. (Original) Ótimo lugar pra um passeio em meio à natureza, num lugar coladinho no centro de São Francisco de Paula. Vale a pena levar umas cadeiras, uma bebida gelada e curtir o show que é o poente na barragem.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful and peaceful spot in São Chico. The Corsan dam provides a beautiful place to rest and enjoy moments of beauty. Free access, leaving from the center of São Francisco, access is via a small stretch of basalt and then a dirt road. The place has no infrastructure. When you visit, take your trash with you, as the place deserves to be taken care of. During our visit, we followed all the safety protocols against Covid. (Original) Belo recanto de beleza e tranqüilidade em São Chico. A barragem da Corsan proporciona um belo descanso e momentos de beleza. Acesso livre, saindo do centro de São Francisco o acesso acontece por pequeno trecho de basalto depois um trecho de terra. Local sem nenhuma infraestrutura. Ao visitar leve seu lixo embora, pois o lugar merece ser cuidado. Na nossa passagem por lá seguimos todos os protocolos de segurança contra o covid.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place, easy access, remembering that the place is just an attraction without much structure to visit, without toilet. But I recommend it on your route, as a visit between other places. (Original) Local muito belo, fácil acesso, lembrando que o local é apenas ponto de atração sem muita estrutura para visitar, sem WC . Mas recomendo por ele em sua rota, como uma visita entre outro local.
