Caçapava do Sul

The municipality spans across 3,047 square kilometers of terrain with hills, valleys, and rivers in southern Brazil at 270 meters elevation.

The settlement became the second capital of the Piratini Republic during a regional independence movement between 1839 and 1840.

Local residents maintain gaucho traditions through regular gatherings featuring churrasco barbecues and ceremonial sharing of chimarrão tea.

Multiple daily bus connections link Caçapava do Sul to major cities in Rio Grande do Sul through a network of paved regional highways.

The region produces 80 percent of Rio Grande do Sul's limestone through extensive mining operations that shape the local economy.
