Porto Alegre - Centers of Gaúcho Tradition

Centers of Gaúcho Tradition

A must for all tourists is a visit to one of the centers of Gaúcho tradition in Porto Alegre, with such names as Os Maragatos (supporters of the federalist movement in Rio Grande do Sul), Tropeiros da Tradição (traditional herdsmen) and Ponteiros do Rio Grande (cattle-drovers of Rio Grande), which offer visitors typical local dishes, served with chimarrão (green tea), and performances of traditional music and dancing. Detailed information about the programs of the various centers can be obtained from the Movimento Tradicionalista Gaúcho, Rua Guilherme Schell 60.
