Visit Blumenau is an English-language guide to Blumenau (Santa Catarina, Brazil) and the surrounding Vale Europeu region — built for travelers who want the real experience without needing fluent Portuguese.
I created this site for a simple reason: the best information about festivals, logistics, and local culture is often scattered across Portuguese pages, PDFs, and social media posts. If you’re visiting for Oktoberfest, Christmas season, Easter events in nearby towns, or you just want a smart weekend itinerary, it shouldn’t feel like detective work.
What you’ll find here
- Event planning pages (Oktoberfest, Christmas & New Year, Easter season)
- Practical travel advice (airports, neighborhoods, day trips, walking routes)
- Food and drink guides (what to eat, craft beer, pastries, local favorites)
How I keep this accurate
For dates, tickets, and schedules, I prioritize official sources (city pages, venue sites, and organizer announcements). For recommendations (walks, day trips, food), I focus on what’s genuinely useful for visitors: clear expectations, easy logistics, and links you can verify yourself.
Because event details can change, you’ll often see “official links” sections on key pages — those are your best last-minute confirmation before you go.
