Porte Allegre, Brazil. Literally "The Port of Joy". What makes this city in Brazil so joyful? What makes it special? Is it just the same as Rio?

Join us as we explore this Gaucho culture of Brazil and show you exactly why it is so amazingly different from every other city in the country!

We explored the Mercado Publica, ate dinner at Chalé de Praça XV and got some great skate footage at the Megapista da Orla (the largest skatepark in Latin America). The next day we had breakfast at Quiero Café, visited the Casa de Cultura Mario Quintana and its rooftop cafe...then we got some energy our at Farophillia Park and ended our day eating at the BEST Brazilian Steakhouse in ALL of Brazil (in our humble opinion): Churrascaria Schneider.

  • Finally a gringo showing Porto Alegre. I am tired of everyone thinking brazil is only Rio. Very good review
  • @realMalfaro
    As a Brazilian American, born in Porto Alegre, I want to express my gratitude to you for showing the gauchos' capital. The flood of 2024 damaged many areas of Porto Algre, but not our spirit. We will be back.Thank you very much.
  • So nice and, at the same time, so sad to see how Porto Alegre was before the floods that hit RS hard in May 2024. Some of the places shown in the video were severely damaged. Hopefully, everything could be rebuilt and even improved. The Gaucho people, Brazil, and everyone else deserve a joyful Port again.
  • "Brazilian cowboy swords"... That is the best definition ever for "espetos"😅 Thank you for this amazing video! Greetings from Porto Alegre :)
  • Glad you enjoyed your stay here bro. Come to the country side next time. We gauchos welcome you
  • i'm glad you liked it! as one of the citizens of Rio Grande do Sul (the state that Porto Alegre belongs), i really love how you appreciated a big part of our culture!
  • @guilherme5367
    I'm a native of Porto Alegre and I can say with confidence, you chose great places to showcase a little of our city. And I'm sure they didn't go hungry haha. Come back to Porto Alegre in September and get to know our Gaucho culture during Farroupilha Week. I bet you will like it and eat a lot of barbecue. Tks buddy.

    I live in Porto Alegre and I love being here. Of course, Brazil is not perfect, but qualities and defects exist everywhere. The problem is that I see many people who have never set foot in our country saying things they don't know. Brazil is beautiful and we have always been known for being happy, talking a lot and hugging each other a lot. ❤
  • Bahhh, é muito tri ver um gringo elogiando a cidade que mais amo 😍🥰🥹💓
  • Cool video! Porto Alegre is one of the best cities in Brazil Ive ever visited! People there were so polite and kind to my family and their food was stunning!
  • For me, as a citizen born and residing in Porto Alegre, I'm happy and congratulate you on the great video. On your next visit, I suggest you also visit the football stadiums and learn a bit about the history of our teams Sport Club Internacional and Gremio Football Porto Alegrense, which have great national and international achievements. There's also the Theatro São Pedro, the Parcão, the Guaíba Sunset, and also about the traditionalist culture (CTG).
  • @wallabra
    You know what pushed me to subscribe? That goofy mind control bit! It was adorable! Thanks for showcasing my hometown :)
  • Parque Farroupilha Magic is on weekends, when it gets totally full with people drinking... Err, mate, and talking, and the Redenção Fair with arts and stuff
  • @lucialamb4449
    Thank you for visiting our city. You are always welcome.
  • @morezco
    Glad you enjoyed your stay!! It was really cool to see your perspective on our city. Come back whenever 🤗
  • I’m really glad you had a such good experience in our city. It was a shame you probably went to Parque Farroupilha in a week day. In Sundays is a very nice place to hang out with family and stroll around the Brique da Redenção fair
  • @zimmeraugusto
    To be honest I'm very surprise because I've never seen a foreign review video about Porto Alegre. The way the barbecue restaurant served you was invented in my hometown.
  • @CopettiMusic
    Honestly this feels like alternate reality watching this, I almost never see many foreigners here, I’m always around these places, and to see Americans here, with good energy and spirits, spending some time and reviewing the city was very fun, I really enjoyed it!
  • This family is beautiful and blessed. Great video, excellent channel, gained another subscriber. I will recommend it to my friends and colleagues to honor you. Steakhouse Schneider is in the city where we live, São Leopoldo. We feel very honored to visit Schneider and our capital Porto Alegre. Always welcome to Brazil. You have very good energy and are very friendly. God bless you all with all the best and positive things always. Hugs, Brodt Family.
