Temples, paths and even high -tech Pousada […]

Whatever the season, the mountainous region of Rio Grande do on never loses its reputation of the winter destination. But tourism goes beyond the pleasures of the body (of wine and fondueAbove all) and brings the visitor to experiences that also feed the soul.

In this Zen script, take a trip inside, literally, making an excursion on the interior of Canyon, isolated parks, Buddhist temple and even in the first Tibetan restaurant in Brazil.

And there are people from afar who have found (and met) in those fields of Cima da Serra, in the extreme north -est of Rio Grande do Sul, where the state interprets the nearby Santa Catarina.

When Chagdud Tulku arrived in Brazil, after exile in India and Nepal, due to the persecution of the Chinese cultural revolution, he found in the South a similar geography of Tibet, such as the mountainous land and the lower temperatures of his homeland.

In three crowns, 32 km from Gramado and 100 km from Porto Alegre, this mud built the Khadro Lin temple in 1995. This replica of a Tibetan Buddhist time entered the Via del Tourism Gaucho as a spiritual alternative for those who seek other experiences in the region.

The place hosts the The KangThe main temple, which focuses on the divinities with the images produced in Nepal and India, which represent the various Buddhas. This is where the morning meditations of the residents of the community of Khadro Ling occur.

The temple also has the wheels of prayer, large cylinders that maintain mantra that, when they turn, spread blessings; And a gigantic statue of Akshobia, the buddha of overcoming anger, represented by the blue color and made in concrete.

In the midst of the garden of statues, lamps and flags of prayers that shake in the wind, it is also the exciting pure land of guru rinpoche, a construction of yellow roofs, built as a replica of the home of Padmasambava, whose delicate internal guards are of the paintings and statues that represent the manifestations that represent the manifestations of Bistimo, who have brought their hands in transception of Buristma. to Tibet.

1st Tibetan restaurant in Brazil

Not far from Serra Gaucha is the Tibet space, considered the first Tibetan restaurant from Brazil.

“In this restaurant, I want to share my passion for Tibet with the Brazilians,” says Ogyen Shak, head of the kitchen, in a statement to the journalist Eduardo Vessoni, publisher of Trip to the agenda.

When he was 16, Shak crossed his Asian mountain range together with three of his brothers, fleeing the invasion of communist China in Tibet. It was two months on foot on the ice in Nepal, which earned him a gangrene that compromised the fingers of one of his feet.

After a long -year hospitalization, in a Tibetan refugee camp in Dharamsala, India, he resumed his life with sacred art, painting in temples of masters such as Dalai Lama and Dzongsar Kyentse Rinpoche.

And it was in one of those Buddhist rituals that the speaker Shak began to be interested in cooking.

Deep Gaucha Serra

In the eastern sector of the border between Rio Grande Do sul and Santa Catarina are the fields of Cima da Serra, in Serra Geral, marked by a plateau that houses destinations such as Cambará do Sul, Jaquirana and São José Dos Ausentes.

It is in this region that deep valleys open, between huge walls of basaltic rocks and give rise to deep canyons.

Cambará do sul, 100 km from three crowns, is the land of the canyons, the address of two national parks: the Aparados da Serra, where the Canyon of Itaimbezinho is located, and the Serra Geral, whose monumentality is the largest (7.5 km) and the deepest in the region, with the slopes that reach 900 Meters High.

Everything that can be activated on the cabin is made by two friendly iPads available for guests: lights, panels that cover the windows, skylights that hide and reveal the sky above our heads, the TV between a thin wooden counter, the bathtub for chromotherapy and even the temperature of the sauna.
