After breakfast, we will take a beautiful tour in the rural area of Gramado. The Colonial Roots tour is a journey through a lesser-known Gramado by most tourists, the rural area of Gramado, in one of the most beautiful regions of the municipality and with enormous value, as it was in the region where this tour takes place that Gramado originated, becoming a municipality years later.
The communities of Linha Bonita and Linha Nova are formed by descendants of Italians and Germans who found in the region a place to cultivate corn, wheat, plant grapes, and promote their subsistence.
On the Colonial Roots tour, five families that still live in the area show tourists their customs, cuisine, architecture, lifestyle, and characteristic products from the period when they arrived in the region and that they still maintain today, preserving their culture and the peculiarities of the simple and authentic rural life.
The tour includes a delicious Colonial Coffee. Free afternoon and evening.

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 reimburse the Contractor the amount due, 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 occurrence 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 departure date of the trip: 10% (ten percent)
- When the cancellation occurs 29 (twenty-nine) to 21 (twenty-one) days before the departure date of the trip: 15% (fifteen percent)
- When the cancellation occurs 20 (twenty) to 1 (one) day before the departure date of the trip: 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, since the Contracted Party is only an intermediary in the hiring of tourist services, holding the received amounts temporarily, as it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, maritime, 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 paid and unused services.
