Arambaré

Arambaré is a municipality in Rio Grande do Sul located near Lagoa dos Patos lagoon. The area features flat terrain and shares borders with the neighboring towns of Tapes and Camaquã.

The name comes from the Guarani language meaning 'priest who shines light', referencing the Tape people who once lived along the lagoon's shores. This indigenous connection remains woven into the place's identity.

People here practice rice farming and raise livestock as central activities that shape daily life and local identity. These rural traditions are visible across the landscape and form the backbone of the community.

The area is about 156 kilometers south of Porto Alegre and easily reached via the BR-116 highway. Other nearby towns like Camaquã are just about 33 kilometers away for day trips.

During summer months, two popular swimming spots called Dunas da Lua de Natal and Prainha within the municipality attract visitors seeking water and warmth. These natural locations become gathering places when the weather turns hot.
