Hidden among the rolling hills of southern Brazil’s highlands, Urupema breaks the tropical stereotype by holding the title of Brazil’s Cold Capital. In this documentary, you’ll feel what it’s like to live where winter lasts for months, frost carpets the ground at dawn, and even waterfalls can freeze.
We’ll explore little-known rural corners, meet families who keep their wood-burning stoves lit all year, discover rare birds among the araucaria forests, and taste local mountain cuisine such as rainbow trout and curd ring-shaped bread. We’ll also learn about unique weather phenomena, like sincelo — delicate ice crystals that coat the landscape — and dive into the history and traditions of a community that has learned to love the cold.
Urupema may be small, but it holds treasures only locals truly know: the simplicity of a country lifestyle, the warmth of human connections, and the beauty of a Brazil many could never imagine.
