Erechim, Planned municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
The city streets form a geometric pattern with wide avenues and diagonal roads that meet at central points across the urban landscape at 783 meters elevation.
The settlement, established in 1918, grew along a railroad connecting Rio Grande do Sul to São Paulo, initially gaining recognition for its wheat production.
The population of 106,633 inhabitants maintains strong connections to European heritage through traditions brought by Italian and German immigrant families.
Travelers can reach Erechim through scheduled flights at the local airport or by taking paved highways that connect to Porto Alegre and regional centers.
The urban design draws inspiration from Washington D.C. and Paris, making it one of the first Brazilian cities with a modern planned layout.
