With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Santa Cruz do Sul, 25 miles away, has to offer. Cave of Indians, Colegio Maua Museum and Max Shopping Center alone make the drive out worthwhile. Don’t miss Montenegro either! Just 60 miles away, Sao Joao Batista Cathedral, Centennial Park and Montenegro Art Museum are must-sees here.
