Day Trip to Igrejinha & the Khadro Ling Buddhist Temple

Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Caxias do Sul at the scheduled time, as we journey southward.

Our itinerary begins at the Khadro Ling Buddhist Temple, a significant Tibetan sanctuary in the region of Rio Grande do Sul. Nestled atop a hill, this temple was founded in the 1990s and currently supports a dedicated community that manages its upkeep.

After a brief overview of the temple's background, you will have three hours of leisure to wander through this tranquil space, where each corner offers a feeling of peace and contemplation. Surrounded by lush greenery, the sanctuary is perfect for meditation and relaxation.

Following our temple experience, we will head to Igrejinha, which began to flourish in the late 1800s, largely due to the influx of German immigrants. Here, you will enjoy another three hours to explore the town's Germanic influences. This time is ideal for tasting the local cuisine and shopping for unique handicrafts.

At the end of the day, we will gather in the town center of Igrejinha before making our way back to Caxias do Sul, arriving at your hotel around 7 pm.
