Pinheiro Machado, Administrative municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Pinheiro Machado is a municipality in Rio Grande do Sul situated across rolling hills within the Serras de Sudeste plateau. The landscape features green hills, farmland, and pastoral areas typical of the region.

This municipality was created when it separated from Piratini in 1879 and was originally named Nossa Senhora da Luz. The name changed to Pinheiro Machado during the community's development.

Local people keep traditional sheep farming and celebrate regional barbecue customs tied to the agricultural past of the state. You can see how these practices shape daily life and community gatherings here.

The area has mild weather with warmer temperatures during summer months and cooler periods in winter. Rain falls throughout the year, so it helps to be prepared for changeable conditions.

Several power plants operate near here, including small oil facilities and wind farms that generate electricity for the region. This energy production plays an important role in the local economy.
