Scenic Viewpoints and Peaks

Canela’s topography is defined by the Serra Gaúcha’s deep canyons and dense Araucaria forests. This selection highlights the 420-meter drop of the Vale da Ferradura, where the Caí River carves a horseshoe bend through basaltic rock. It includes the Skyglass platform, 360-degree views from the Caracol Park observation tower, and several peaks like Morro Dedão and Morro Queimado that overlook the Paranhana and Quilombo valleys.
