In Rancho Queimado, mountain scenery and rural landscapes come together in the Serra da Boa Vista. When planning your trip, it is worth distinguishing between the different ways to visit: Cascata Trisãmya can only be visited from the road, while Taquaras offers cultural points of interest, and dates for individual markets or cafés should be checked in advance.

Scenery and getting your bearings in Taquaras

Cascata Trisãmya is visible from the edges of the municipal road Henrique Meurer in Taquaras and can only be visited from the road. Plan to view it from the road, and do not plan to access it from elsewhere. For geographic context, the district of Taquaras is 13 km from the administrative seat of Rancho Queimado. This distance provides a specific reference for the location of the district in relation to the administrative seat.

Tropeiro history and cultural sites

The Monumento do Tropeiro honors the drovers who drove cattle from Rio Grande do Sul to São Paulo. Its dedication draws attention to the people and the movement of cattle between the two states. Also in the district of Taquaras is the Museu Casa de Campo Hercílio Luz. Together, these provide different cultural points of interest: a monument with an explicitly stated historical dedication and a museum, another named site in the same district.

Market, crafts and chocolate

Feira AGROARTE Rancho Queimado sells colonial and handcrafted products at Praça Leonardo Sell. Events and gatherings also make the square a tourist attraction, in addition to the fair. If you plan to visit the market, check in advance whether a current date falls during your stay.

Artesanatos Frutos da Serra is an association of farmers and craftspeople from Rancho Queimado that displays and sells its products. Doce Rancho adds artisan-made chocolate to this selection: the factory is located in Parque do Morango in Taquaras and has a rustic-style café and a garden. If you plan to visit, check in advance whether the café is currently open. This helps distinguish a market, a producers' association, and a chocolate venue as different ways to explore local products.

Events and the regional context

The 32nd Festa do Morango was scheduled for November 28–30, 2025, at Parque do Morango in Taquaras, Rancho Queimado, Santa Catarina. The planned edition was to include food and drink, a fair, crafts, an amusement park, a farm attraction, and a Santa Claus house. Since the dates are in the past, this should be regarded as a historical event reference; check current festival dates for future trips.
