Pomerode
Known as 'the most German city in Brazil', where descendants of Pomeranian immigrants still speak a German dialect, and half-timbered farmhouses and flower gardens are everywhere.
Pomerode lies about 30 km north of Blumenau. It was founded by 19th-century Pomeranian immigrants, and many residents still speak a German dialect at home. Its streets are tidy, with flowers in every garden. The town has German bakeries, cafés and craft breweries, where you can enjoy German-style afternoon tea and apple strudel. The Easter Egg Tree Festival before Easter and the Pomerania Festival in January are the liveliest times. The half-timbered houses along the Road and the zoo on the outskirts are the main sights. From Blumenau it takes about 40 minutes by car or coach, making it suitable for a half-day or day trip.
