Ivoti, Municipality and flower cultivation center in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Description
Ivoti is a municipality in the Porto Alegre metropolitan area situated at about 114 meters above sea level and covering roughly 63 square kilometers. The town functions as a center for flower cultivation and agricultural production in the region.
History
German immigrants from the Rhine region founded the settlement in 1824, initially giving it a name based on the first family that arrived. Over time, the area attracted Japanese immigrants who brought their own agricultural knowledge to the community.
Culture
The Japanese immigrant community left a mark on local farming methods that visitors can still see reflected in how the land is cultivated today. Their knowledge shaped agricultural practices that remain important to the region's identity and daily work.
Practical
The town is easily accessible by road, and agricultural areas can be explored during daylight hours when farming activities are most visible. The warmer months offer the best conditions for visiting and seeing the flower cultivation operations in action.
Did you know?
The name comes from the Tupi-Guarani word yvoty, meaning flower, which reflects the deep connection the area has with flower cultivation. This linguistic root shows how the indigenous character of the landscape shaped the place's identity and continues to define it.
