Location Voiture Erechim

Erechim is a city located in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande doSul. The city was one of the first planned cities to be built in Brazil and the planners used concepts they had seen in cities such as Washington DC and Paris. The influence of these cities can be seen in the wide, spacious streets and the bold layouts with diagonal streets intersecting at important locations. The city is also marked by its perpendicular grid formation and also an interesting promenade circling the perimeter.

Although the city is modern, its name is very ancient. It is taken from the ancient inhabitants of the regions who called the place ErechimCaingangue, which means 'small field’ as the settlement there at the time was surrounded by areas of forest.

You can explore the city and surrounding area using one of the many state highways running close to the city by hiring a car through VIP cars.
