Angras dos Reis is situated on Ilha Grande Bay on Brazil's Costa Verde. There are 365 islands and more than 2000 beaches in Angra dos reis.
Like many Brazilian colonial cities, Angra dos Reis was deeply influenced by The catholic Church. In a small area it is possible to find a great number of convents, churches and monuments, even at The little islands, which is very charming. One example is The Senhor do Bonfim, The Santana and Piedade Churches.
The downtown Angra was built in curves , following The wind that blows all day. Besides The churches there is little left from the old colonial style. Even though a promenade at downtown Angra can give you nice surprises.
Blumenau and the surrounding regions became the home to a large number of German immigrants in the early 19th century, leading to a culture that's distinctly different from the common image of Brazil. After Germans, the second largest ethnic group is Italians.
The Oktoberfest is held every year in (you guessed it) October, and is the world's second largest beer festival. It attracts over one million tourists during the sixteen or seventeen days it's held.
Oktoberfest! The best time to come to Blumenau is in October, because in October there's Oktoberfest. The party began in 1983 and attracts thousands of people from the whole country and also from other Mercosur countries. During the 17 days, every Wednesdays and Sundays you'll have the opportunity to see the traditional parade in Rua XV de Novembro and every night at Vila Germânica people gather to party. The party goes until 1AM on weekdays and until 6AM in the weekends. Most of the best and biggest local breweries have stands in the party and delicious food, such as the Stuffed Potatoes and X Alemão. If you get tired of the German music inside, try the electronic tent outside.
