Eldorado do Sul

Eldorado do Sul is a municipality located on the right bank of Guaíba River, positioned across from Porto Alegre. The area spans several hundred square kilometers and features agricultural land mixed with residential zones along the water's edge.

The region began developing in the 1930s when Granja da Boa Vista was established, introducing rice cultivation to the area. This agricultural start formed the foundation for the region's economic growth over time.

Local residents celebrate traditional gaucho customs through festivals, music, and regional food throughout the year. These gatherings reflect how daily life here stays connected to rural and pastoral heritage.

The main water recreation area, Praia Sans Souci, is easily accessible by road from Porto Alegre. Plan a visit during the warmer months when outdoor and water activities are most enjoyable.

A veterinary research institute established in the 1940s operates in the area and conducts animal health studies. This scientific facility has helped develop better agricultural and livestock practices throughout the region.
