Introducing Canela
While lacking Gramado’s sophistication, Canela has a small town charm of its own. Centered around a leafy green square, the village center is anchored at one end by an impressive Gothic Catedral de Pedra (stone cathedral). The streets are lined with shops and cafés. And though they are not as chic as those in Gramado, Canela offers a wider range of budget accommodations and more convenient access to the state parks, which are popular hiking spots.
