I forgot to ask what the weather will be like in late December and early January. Also, how long does it take to get to Rio from Porto Alegre? Is there a bus or a train? Is there anything to see on the way? Should we just fly instead?
The weather will be very hot and humid in this period; it takes more than 20 hours by bus, I don't know exactly, take a look in my Brasil or South America page for buses links. There are lots of beaches and other interesting cities on the way.
hello, I am also interested on such transfert, could you be more specific about, buses or train, I wasnt able to find this information on your travel pages.
Thank you for your collaboration
the most southern state of Brasil, has borders with Uruguay and Argentina. so there is no reason not to visit this beautiful part of Brasil and maybe the most diverse cultural society in Brasil and language wise. many travellers from Europe will have seldom problems to communicate, though portugues is much prefered.
but german, spanish, italien, polish and alos japanese is understood and spoken.
This is the famous 'LACADOR' statue,a symbol of south Brazil(the 'gaucho',means,the simple original men from the south,as the american cowboys...)
The statue is located in the free way,5 minutes away from the airport..
Dificult to call Guaiba " Lake Guaiba ",after growing up with the idea it was a river!
But,it's a lake!!
Its waters meet the Atlantic in Rio Grande,the last south point of this state.

Museum of Art of Rio Grande do Sul – MARGS
With a predominantly neoclassic style, the building was designed by German architect Theo Wiederspahn. Originally it was the headquarters of the Fiscal Surveillance Agency of the Federal Revenue Office. Nowadays, it hosts the largest collection of works in Rio Grande do Sul, many of which were created by renowned local, national, and foreign artists. The internal spaces are illuminated through “vitreauxes” (artistic window glasses) embellishing the major hall ceiling. The building became a historic landmark by the National Historic Site Office in 1983 and it is at Alfândega Plaza, Downtown. You may visit it from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Guided visit can be scheduled.
