São Francisco de Assis, Municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
São Francisco de Assis is a municipality in the western region of Rio Grande do Sul that stretches across a large rural area. The area is shaped by agricultural activities, particularly soybean cultivation and milk production.
The municipality was founded in 1884 and developed from early settlements into a structured administrative region. This founding was part of the settlement of Rio Grande do Sul's southwest in the 1800s.
European settler heritage shows through traditional music, dance, and regional food at local celebrations throughout the year. These traditions remain woven into how the community gathers and celebrates together.
The best time to explore is during the summer months when field work is active and you can observe rural life firsthand. The flat to rolling landscape makes it easy to move around the region.
The area lies near the Jaguari River, creating a natural connection between several neighboring municipalities. This geographic position has shaped the development and relationships between different settlements.
