São Miguel das Missões

São Miguel das Missões, Brazil

4.5 (0)

Overview

Historic Jesuit mission in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It lies in southern Brazil, where winters are genuinely cold and summers are the high season.

Why visit: Serra da Capivara's rock paintings are among the oldest human traces in the Americas, and the Jesuit mission ruins tell a very different story.

Things to do

›Take the guided route — the rock art sites require one
›Start early; there is no shade in the caatinga
›Visit the site museum first for the context
›Carry more water than you think you need
