Excursions in Porto Alegre
The mountainous surroundings of Porto Alegre are the only place in Brazil where it sometimes snows in winter (June-July). A small national park with waterfalls and clean lakes is located within the city limits on the Santana Hill. From the viewpoint of the Ossu Hill, you can see Lake Guayaba, ocean beaches, and a panoramic view of the city. Porto Alegre is rightfully considered the greenest city in Brazil, and the Botanical Garden occupies a huge area.
