Are you looking for crystal clear water, sunny days, good waves and breathtaking views??
So…Welcome to FERRUGEM beach, in Santa Catarina.
I’d say I was a very lucky kid, because my parents used to have a beach house in Garopaba – very close to Ferrugem- so every single summer I’d spend 3 months in paradise…
If only I could go back in time!!

Here´s a cool video on the different regions of Rio Grande do Sul. It is narrated in English, and it shows many of the touristic attractions of each particular area. My favourite has always been the Missões, and the North Coast. What about you? Have you got any nice photographs of your favourite place in our state you´d like to show other gauchos? ; )
Take a glimpse of our land's beautiful scenery.

Video on Demand: Spotlight on Culture
on April 12, 2009I'd like to challenge you and your group to produce a short film on a 'stereotypical' element of your regional culture. You don't really have to be a Spielberg or Lucas, but you need an element to explore (such as a regional food or drink staple). Then, just grab your camera and start shooting!
Here's a tutorial on home video editing for the final touches.

How should a foreigner order 'Cassava root' in your region of Brazil?
Guess the following vocab in a 'Southern style'...
- A French roll (especially in Porto Alegre, RS)
- Sausages (especially in Curitiba, PR)
- A car crash
- A traffic light
- A young boy
- A hill
- Tangerines
- A snack bar or cafeteria
Is there any peculiar regional vocabulary you'd like to challenge us with? So... hit us!
Do you have cool pictures of places you've been to or have lived in in Brazil? Why don't you show us?
