Morretes

Completed in 1850.

This church was built in the first half of the 19th century to accompany a chapel built in 1769. The clock in the tower has functioned continuously since the church's construction.

Its name a Tupi-Guarani word meaning "fishing hole", this river cuts through the heart of the village, with picturesque trees and colonial buildings on its banks and an antique bridge restored in 1975. The river was once a prime spot to pan for gold and was thus an early source of wealth for the town.

The history of this colonial-style church is unclear, with theories that it was completed anywhere between 1765 and 1884.

This farm has eight fishing tanks where you pay for what you catch. You can also pick fruit from the orchard or rent horses. There is a snack bar on the premises.
