Take advantage of the festival to explore Serra Negra
In addition to the cultural festival, you can take advantage of the May holiday to explore other attractions in the municipality. If you enjoy nature, it’s worth visiting the Serra Negra Biopark and the Cachoeira dos Sonhos, which features seven waterfalls. The city is also part of the Wine Routes and offers itineraries with tastings at wineries and farms.
The biggest attraction in Serra Negra is, without a doubt, the replica of the Trevi Fountain, a living legacy of Italian and n immigration to the region. Plan your trip, enjoy the mountain hospitality, and experience an unforgettable holiday!
