Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Cachoeirinha do Porto Alegre

Roll out from Cachoeirinha, a laid‑back city in Porto Alegre’s metro area perched by the Gravataí River (its name literally means “little waterfall”). You’ll head south into Porto Alegre’s Zona Norte, threading mostly quiet streets with a good dose of cycleways and only a few busier stretches near major junctions.

It’s about 48 km with roughly 320 m of climbing—gentle rollers rather than big hills, topping out under 90 m. Surfaces are overwhelmingly paved/asphalt, with the occasional patch of paving stones or cobbles to keep things interesting.

As you reach Porto Alegre, aim for the Guaíba waterfront for a scenic finale. The city is the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, famous for golden sunsets on the orla, the historic Public Market, and the old Usina do Gasômetro by the water—great spots to refuel or sip a chimarrão.

Tips: start early to dodge traffic, use the cycle lanes where signed, and bring lights for city riding. Enjoy the ride!
