My itinerary for Rio Grande do Sul which just so happens to be the southern most part of Brazil as well as the left over Italian speaking part is as follows:
Talian is a uniquely Brazilian variety of Italian not spoken anywhere else in the world. The emergence of Talian in Rio Grande do Sul happened because of the great variety of Italian dialects that came together into a fairly compact and specific geographical location of the state. Talian is frequently called Vêneto because it is close to the Venetian language spoken in Italy's Veneto region.
Rio Grande
:
Begin with a scenic drive through the countryside. As
you roll through the flat Brazilian pampas, your guide will give you
insight into this extraordinary part of the country, its history and
culture. Upon arrival to the Estância São José, you will be greeted
with local music and refreshments. After an introduction to the
estância and its workings, one of the highlights of your visit will be
a demonstration of the incredible skills of the gauchos. Watch as they
demonstrate their dexterity while performing the Tiro de Laço (lasso
both horns at one time), the Paleteada (two horsemen drive the cattle
in perfect harmony) and the Chula, a war dance. The gaucho's ability
and coordination in these and other demonstrations will delight you.
Following the demonstration, you will retire to the main building where
a traditional barbecue lunch will be served. During lunch, you will again be entertained with local music and dance. Return to the pier in Rio Grande to board your ship.
