Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
Getting from Porto Alegre Airport (POA) to Canela takes about 2h 10min by car on an empty road (2h 10min – 2h 40min in heavy traffic) over 116 km via ERS-020 and ERS-115. Our private transfer costs €100 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €140 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits in the public arrivals area (desembarque) of Terminal 1, after baggage reclaim and, on international flights, customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Canela is Gramado's neighbour in the Serra Gaúcha, about 115 km by road from the airport. The route is the same as to Gramado as far as the plateau: the Freeway (BR-290) and RS-020 to Taquara, then the climb on RS-115, before continuing about 7 km east along RS-235, the Avenida das Hortênsias, into Canela. Allow a little over two hours; the mountain section is slow, and holiday traffic between Gramado and Canela can be heavy in winter.
Canela is quieter than Gramado and is a base for the area's nature sights. The Stone Cathedral (Catedral de Pedra), a Gothic-style church of basalt, stands on the main square in the town centre. The Caracol State Park, with the 131 m Caracol waterfall and its viewing platforms, is about 7 km north of the centre, and the Ferradura canyon viewpoint lies further along the same road. Hotels range from guesthouses in town to lodges in the surrounding araucaria forests, most reachable by car on paved roads.
Public transport instead: Citral (executive airport coach) bus Aeroporto Salgado Filho - Gramado/Canela (DAER lines 692 and 693) from Salgado Filho airport, Terminal 1 ground floor (tickets at the Veppo counter, 1st floor) to Canela bus station (rodoviária), via Gramado.
