Hotels in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Rio Grande do Sul is Brazil's southernmost state, with a subtropical climate that gives you cool winters around 50-60°F (10-15°C) and warm summers of 80-90°F (27-32°C). It's famous for gaucho cowboy culture and the Serra Gaúcha wine region, where you can tour vineyards in Bento Gonçalves and taste wines during the fall harvest from March to May. In winter, hike the dramatic canyons of Cambará do Sul without the heat, while summer is perfect for beach time at Torres or for enjoying a churrasco barbecue in Porto Alegre.
