Tapes[1] is a municipality of Rio Grande do Sul.

Understand

The city is part of the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, is bathed by the Laguna dos Patos and has about 18,000 inhabitants.

Its main attraction is the calm waters of 7 freshwater beaches, surrounded by centenary fig trees.

In Tapes there are people from the most varied origins: Indians, blacks and Portuguese, Spanish, German and Polish European immigrants, mainly.

This mixture of cultures favored the taste of the Tapenses for cultural events of various types, ranging from carnival (the best in the Costa Doce region) to gaucho traditionalism (the municipality is one of the 15 venues of the official parades of the Farroupilha Week).

the geography

Total area: Approximately 652 km². The city is located a few meters above sea level, being formed by a sandy plain and small elevations in some points. It is basically divided into two distinct regions: coastal plains of Lagoa dos Patos and elevated. Campos and Matas are the main types of vegetation that predominate in the municipality. Lands with low undergrowth and almost no trees became suitable for raising animals (cattle, sheep, horses, etc.). In agriculture, rice irrigated by flooding predominates. There are also Eucalyptus and Pinus Forests that were planted by man and that constitute one of the sources of income for the Municipality.

Look

  • Tapes Butiazal, unique forest formation in the world.

The great source of inspiration for the essences is the Butiazal – an exotic nature sanctuary. Located in the municipality of Tapes (RS), Butiazal seems to be out of place in Rio Grande do Sul, as "a strange land". The vegetation resembles a place with a tropical climate and is primarily made up of ole trees permeated with cacti. In some points we also find native trees such as guajuviras and fig trees. On the butiá trees we have, living in beautiful harmony, ferns, bromeliads and native orchids. In the summer, from the sandy soil, a Senegalese heat seems to emerge.
