Morrinhos: Viewpoints, Culture and Nature

A 27-meter-tall statue, a lake in a park, a Sunday handicrafts fair and trails with a small waterfall offer different perspectives on Morrinhos. Experiences range from a square at a viewpoint to recreation, walks and hikes in Parque Recanto das Araras. Local traditions and a museum that conveys the history of the area through objects round out the experience. When planning your trip, you can choose between urban landmarks, culture and nature in the surrounding area.

Viewpoint and landmark

Cristo Redentor is one of Morrinhos’ tourist attractions. A 27-meter-tall statue stands in Praça do Cristo Redentor, a square located at one of the city’s viewpoints, Morro da Cruz. The statue’s height is a striking feature, while the viewpoint adds a scenic dimension to the square. This makes the square a combination of a distinctive structure and a viewpoint that serves as a landmark in the city.

Lake and recreation in Parque Recanto das Araras

Lago Municipal is located in Parque Recanto das Araras. The park is a place for people to gather and relax; walks and hikes are also among its recreational offerings. It offers easy access and ample parking. The lake, recreation and outdoor activities come together at this one destination. Unlike the viewpoint at Morro da Cruz, what stands out here is not a single landmark, but a park with several ways to spend time outdoors.

Handicrafts, tradition and local history

A handicrafts fair takes place every Sunday from 4 p.m. at Praça do Cristo. Visitors can discover the work of local artists and sample typical foods. Check the date before your trip. Another cultural facet of Morrinhos is the Festa de Nossa Senhora do Carmo, dedicated to the city’s patron saint. Law No. 4,255 officially recognized the Festa as cultural heritage of the municipality. While the fair offers a connection to handicrafts and typical foods, the recognition applies to the celebration itself.

Museu Antônio Corrêa Bueno also offers insight into local history through objects that belonged to people born in Morrinhos or who moved to the municipality. This brings historical themes together with the life stories of the people who shaped the area.

Trails and a waterfall in the surrounding area

Parque Ecológico Jatobá Centenário is located on the outskirts of the city, in the area surrounding the destination. Its trails cover around 2,100 meters, and it also has a small waterfall. This sets it apart from Parque Recanto das Araras: Jatobá is known for its trails and waterfall, while Recanto is associated with its lake, recreation, walks and hikes.

Choose the right focus for your trip

When looking for a vacation rental in Morrinhos, you can first consider whether you’d rather plan your stay around urban landmarks and culture or around a lakeside park and trails in the surrounding area.
