caminhos de pedra

This is definitely a tourist focused activity, but well-done. Worthwhile to visit a few of the shops and stop for lunch.

July is a Great time to be there, The winter is white But The purple os The hottest color. Beautiful, romantic, a piece of veneto or Tuscani in Brazil

nice traffic / good places to visit / good informations in the map / restaurants + wines + foods + handmade stuffs and more

Lovely stone house that has been well-renovated - clean and comfortable but the lighting in the room is very dim. A great opportunity to stay in such an interesting location - close to vineyards and all the artesanal crafts - mate, weaving, wine etc.

The best publicly managed attraction I have come across in Brazil. Very knowledgable staff in the tourist information along the route.

The area has done a great job to preserve the history and culture of area. Many houses are over 100 years and each has something different to offer from wine, cheese, meat, sheep and everything made from tomatoes.

If you want to go the toursit route, this is definitely the place to go. A series of houses built by the first settlers of the area, Italians, were renovated and each one sells different products, the Casa da Ovelha (Sheep House), where all of the products are made from sheep, the Casa do Tomate (Tomato House), where there is a tour and you can even have your picture taken in old-fashioned clothes in the barn and where you can taste tomato candy. They also have restaurants, local artisanry and even a vineyard. It´s a beautiful place to drive through and stop but it is usually full of tourists and huge tourist buses for my taste,

The number of attractions increase every year, so if you visited it in the past, you will find new attractions. Family-run little shops and restaurants each one with a different attraction, but all of them displayed with pride. They are refurbished colonial italian houses made of stones or wood dating from the fist italian settlers. You can lear about their history, their plans for the future of this region and be delighted by the local products and landscape.

This is a very interesting road along which house and farms have little shops an exhibit for food, arts, and crafts. You can find anything from cheese and jam to clothes while visiting farms, seeing animals, learning about cheese process, and having a great time.

Caminhos de Pedras is a well troden road where the first Italian settlers dwelled and worked. It features a variety of tipically Italina stone houses, vineyards, dairy and crafts shops. Don't miss it!!!

There are pre-organized van groups, but for R$70 we had a cab for own own stopping only where we asked him to.The caminhos is where the first italian settlers came to and built their houses with stones and wood. Beautiful scenary.

Nice ancient houses, nothing more. Just drive around, or bike around. 45 minutes will be more than enough

Nice scenery, good restaurant, cheese shop. This is a lovely route to take when you visit Bento Goncalves, RS, Brazil. The route is an easy less than a couple of hours without stops from Bento Goncalves and there are a number of wineries along the way that are well marked.

Love the casa da erva mate and the new casa das uvas (you pick the grapes straight from the vine). Lunch at Vanna! YUM! Casa da Ovelha super overrated!

fA região é belíssima e vale várias fotos. Ali é possível conhecer mais de perto a vida dos colonos italianos da região e a produção de seus produtos artesanais. As casas antigas de pedra são um charme total. Entre os meus favoritos ficaram o trabalho da vinícola Salvati, o moinho de água e a produção artesanal de erva para chimarrão.
