Images from our trip to the Culinary Festival in the European Valley SC
Introduction
The European Valley is a region with a strong characteristic of German, Italian, Austrian, Polish, and Portuguese settlers, located in the Itajaí Valley, in the state of Santa Catarina. The region offers various attractions ranging from typical half-timbered architecture, flower-filled and well-kept streets, cuisine, and traditional festivals.
Many people are attracted by shopping tourism as the European Valley houses textile hubs, shoe manufacturers, and centers for selling crystals and porcelain. Elected the most German city in Brazil, Pomerode is a gem of the European Valley. For over a century, the municipality has preserved the cultural traits inherited from the settlers, most of whom came from Pomerania, a region in northern Germany.
The largest collection of half-timbered constructions in the country is found on the "Half-timbered Route," a tourist path that presents over a hundred houses listed as historical heritage. During the month of July, the Municipal Events Park transforms to host the cozy Culinary Festival.
On site, the so-called “Gastronomic Village” is established, where the city's restaurants transfer their structures and unite in a single, richly decorated environment. Along with delicious cuisine, the Festival also features musical performances, art exhibitions, craft fairs, folkloric presentations, and much more!
In this complete itinerary, we will explore from the bustling city of Balneário Camboriú to the charming towns of the European Valley like Pomerode and Blumenau. Come with us!

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.
