Gallery sights in Cachoeira & São Félix

  1. Centro Cultural Dannemann

    In São Félix, the riverfront Centro Cultural Dannemann has modern art displayed throughout a converted warehouse. In a large room in the rear of the building, heavy with the rich smell of tobacco, women dressed in white with flowered head wraps sit at antique wooden tables rolling charutos (cigars), as has been done here since 1873. Dannemann cigars are considered Brazil’s finest.

  2. Woodcarving Studios

    Cachoeira has maintained a tradition of woodcarving with a heavy African flavor. Stop in on the ateliers (studios) of two of the best sculptors in town, Doidão (Rua Ana Nery) and Louco (Rua 13 de Maio), to get a sense of the local style.
