Big-city services. Leafier surroundings.
Porto Alegre is the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil. Neighborhoods such as Três Figueiras, Bela Vista and Moinhos de Vento combine apartment buildings, tree-lined streets and residential spaces, offering a different atmosphere from São Paulo’s scale.
The city’s history includes Azorean Portuguese settlement; the wider state also carries German and Italian cultural influences. It is a diverse Brazilian city, with its own southern food traditions, local cafés and a distinctive waterfront.
The Guaíba shoreline is one of Porto Alegre’s defining landscapes. When your schedule and recovery allow, a quiet waterfront visit can be a welcome break between appointments.
Waterfront, gardens and neighborhood life.
Porto Alegre’s appeal is in its open waterfront and green everyday spaces. Leave time for its leafy streets, cafés and historic center, with outings arranged around your treatment schedule.
Gonçalo de Carvalho
A canopy of mature trees turns this residential street into one of the city’s most memorable green corridors.
Redenção Park
Formally Parque Farroupilha, this generous urban park brings together lakes, gardens, shade and neighborhood life.
Mercado Público
A landmark of the historic center, with food stalls, regional ingredients and traditional places to stop for a meal.
A mountain escape to Gramado.
Gramado brings a different side of southern Brazil: forested hills, lakes, chocolate shops and architecture shaped by the region’s European heritage. It is a natural choice for a few extra days before or after treatment.
Allow around two hours by car from Porto Alegre, depending on your starting point, route and traffic. Your concierge can arrange the drive and accommodation, with timing agreed around your clinical schedule.
Gramado’s European-inspired streets
Half-timbered façades and steep roofs reflect the Germanic influences that help give Gramado its distinctive character.
