My Commentary: After leaving Pomerode, in Santa Catarina, I went to Blumenau where I took a bus to Porto Alegre in Rio Grande do Sul. It was a long journey of about 8 hours if I remember well. From there I took another bus to finally arrive in Garibaldi where my friend Mirela would be waiting for me so we could start our days of exploring. I was impressed on how Italian Garibaldi is, I was honestly expecting similarities with São Paulo but I was wrong. The towns in Serra Gaúcha region have an unique style influenced by Germans and Italians and even the way the structure and organize the towns are different fom South-east Brazil.
