The Circuito Italiano de Turismo Rural is a pleasant walk through the traditional wine cellars, heritage of Italian immigrants, in addition to the natural beauty of the region. The Italian Circuit still has several typical restaurants, colonial coffee and wineries that can be visited. The municipal festivals are a great attraction for the local population and tourists alike. Several of them take place throughout the year: Nossa Senhora do Rosário Festival - patron saint of the city, and Nossa Senhora de Caravaggio Festival - patron saint of Italian immigrants.
