The cleverness of the wine barrel-shaped church aside, the real reason to visit this Planalto landmark is for a real sense of local culture – on sunny weekend days, the surrounding grassy square swells with locals plopped down on lawn chairs sucking back chimarrão (maté tea). You'll wind up adding loads of new friends to your address book!
