    • Meet the Brazilian tour guide at your hotel, cruise ship, Airbnb or airport. Then take the road to Petropolis. Around one hour drive will take you through the Serra dos Orgãos National Park.
    • Upon arrival in Petrópolis, your first stop is Palácio Quitandinha. This old casino hotel has a beautiful garden and luxurious interior and was built in 1944 by Joaquim Rolla to be the largest hotel-casino in Latin America. Its architectural style is the Hollywood rococo (internally) and Norman-French (externally) - the latter very present in architecture due to Petropolis German colonisation.
