Images from our trip to the Gastronomic 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 since 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 route that presents more than a hundred houses listed as historical heritage. During the month of July, the Municipal Events Park transforms to host the cozy Gastronomic Festival.
At the venue, 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 cities of the European Valley like Pomerode and Blumenau. Come with us!

Important Notes
The information below covers part of what is set out in our General Conditions. It is essential to read the entire document.
Withdrawals, Transfers and Cancellations by the client
The CONTRACTED PARTY shall refund the amount due to the Client, calculated on the total amount actually received by the Contractor, excluding the amount of commission withheld, which must be dealt with by the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.
in the event of any of the above occurring, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tour package, in the following proportion:
- When the withdrawal occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the date of departure of the trip: 10% (ten percent)
- When the withdrawal occurs between 29 (twenty-nine) and 21 (twenty-one) days before the date of departure: 15% (fifteen percent)
- When the withdrawal occurs between 20 (twenty) and 01 (one) days before the date of departure: 30% (thirty percent)
- If the passenger does not show up at the time and place scheduled for the start of the trip, 35% (thirty-five percent) will be charged.
In addition to the fees and fines described above, the amounts already paid to suppliers to guarantee reservations, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contractor is only an intermediary in the contracting of tourist services, being in temporary possession of the amounts received, because it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, sea and road transportation, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.
For both road and air tours, it is not permitted to transfer dates or refund unused sections.
Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has begun, passengers who abandon it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for services paid for and not used.
