After breakfast, we will enjoy a wonderful excursion in the rural area of Gramado. The Colonial Roots Tour takes you to a side of Gramado that is little known to most tourists: its rural area, in one of the municipality’s most beautiful regions and one of great significance, as Gramado originated in the region visited on the tour before becoming a municipality years later.

The communities of Linha Bonita and Linha Nova are made up of descendants of Italians and Germans who found in the region a place to grow maize and wheat, plant vines and provide for themselves.

On the Colonial Roots Tour, five families who still live in the area show visitors their customs, cuisine, architecture, way of life and products characteristic of the period when they arrived in the region, which they still maintain in their daily lives, preserving their culture and the distinctive features of simple, authentic rural life.

The tour includes a delicious Colonial-style Coffee. Afternoon and evening at leisure.

Important notes

The information gathered below covers part of what is stated in our General Conditions. It is essential to read the entire document.

Cancellations, Transfers and Customer Cancellations

The CONTRACTED PARTY will refund the amount due to the Contractor, calculated on the total actually received by the Contracted Party, excluding the amount of the commission retained, which should be dealt with the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.

In the event of any of the mentioned hypotheses, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tourist package, in the following proportion:

  • When the cancellation occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the travel departure date: 10% (ten percent)
  • When the cancellation occurs 29 (twenty-nine) to 21 (twenty-one) days before the travel departure date: 15% (fifteen percent)
  • When the cancellation occurs 20 (twenty) to 01 (one) day before the travel departure date: 30% (thirty percent)
  • If the passenger does not show up at the time and place set for the start of the trip, 35% (thirty-five percent) will be charged

In addition to the fees and penalties described above, amounts already paid to suppliers for securing reservations, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, as the Contracted Party is only an intermediary in the hiring of tourist services, being in temporary possession of the amounts received, as it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, sea and road transport, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.

For both road and air excursions, date transfers or refunds for unused segments will not be allowed.

Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has started, the passenger who abandons it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for the services paid and not used.
