Fão and Forqueta Rivers Valley

Where the Fão and Forqueta Meet

Perched on the Serra de Pouso Novo, this camera surveys the point where the Fão and Forqueta rivers thread through a deep, green valley in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. The hillside vantage offers a sweeping view down toward the water below, framed by the layered ridgelines typical of this part of southern Brazil.

The BR-386 Corridor

The BR-386 highway curls along the hillside just beneath the camera, one of the region's key routes linking the small towns of the Vale do Taquari. Its switchbacks trace the contour of the serra, connecting Pouso Novo with neighboring municipalities across the rugged terrain.

Rural Vale do Taquari

Beyond the road, the landscape opens into the patchwork of family farms and forested slopes that define the Vale do Taquari — a region shaped by generations of European settlement and known for its steep hills, tobacco fields, and dairy pastures overlooking the river below.
