About this activity

Enjoy breathtaking views as the train winds through lush mountains, crossing 41 bridges, 13 tunnels, and countless viaducts, including the iconic São João Bridge and Carvalho Viaduct. The journey offers a perfect mix of history, nature and engineering marvels — with waterfalls and valleys completing the unforgettable scenery.

Upon arrival in Morretes, stroll through its charming streets lined with colonial houses, craft markets, and historic churches. Then, indulge in a delicious lunch featuring typical regional cuisine, including the famous barreado, a local slow-cooked specialty.
