Viaduto 13
Viaduto 13 (Viaduto do Exército)
A high railway viaduct spanning the Antas River valley, about 143 metres tall and one of South America's tallest railway bridges.
Viaduto 13 is located in Vespasiano Correa, about 40 km west of Bento Gonçalves. Built in the 1970s as part of the 'Wheat Railway,' it is about 509 metres long and 143 metres high, and was once considered one of the tallest railway bridges in the Americas. It was also the filming location for the film O Quatrilho. Visitors can look at it from a valley lookout, and some travel agencies organize hikes up to the bridge or adventure activities in the area. The 2023–2024 floods in Rio Grande do Sul affected roads and railways nearby, so please confirm opening status before setting out.
