First of all, because you are going to face with a different culture that belongs to the same country. People of middle-west are also very friendly and they speak with different accent from the ones on the coast. Once you meet them, they will probably invite you to try a typical Brazilian hot tea called chimarrão. About the taste? I’ll let you find out!
For those who come by plane, you must take a flight till Florianópolis (capital of SC) and drive for about 4 hours to get there. Don’t worry, is far from being a boring trip, you must take one of the national roads that connect the coast with the western part of the state. There is a wonderful landscape to take pictures during the whole trip. Remember, Lages it is approximately 1000 meters above the sea, so take warm cloths, because it can became very chilly at night.
This party was created on the 70th decade with the goal of preserving the culture of the small fruit called pinhão, since that epoch it has a big influence for the region economy and culture.
