Campo Bom

Campo Bom is a municipality in Rio Grande do Sul located in the Sinos River valley. The city contains residential neighborhoods and industrial areas connected by streets and local infrastructure.

The city was founded in 1825 by German immigrants who settled as farmers in the area. Over the 20th century, it transformed from an agricultural settlement into an important industrial and commercial center.

The local community celebrates its German heritage through festivals and customs that shape daily life in the city. These traditions create a strong sense of belonging among residents and visitors who experience them throughout the year.

The city is accessible from Porto Alegre through a direct road connection, making it easy to reach by various means of transport. Plan your visit for the warmer months when local activity is higher and the area feels more welcoming.

The city has a progressive history of innovation in urban planning and connectivity. In the late 1970s, it pioneered South America's first dedicated cycling path, and later became Brazil's first municipality to offer free internet access to all residents.
