Private Transport – LAWN | CINNAMON
Best for: Travelers who need private transport between the airport and the Gramado/Canela area with a simple, direct arrangement
This option is built around private airport transport for the Gramado and Canela area, with a trip length of about two to three hours. The route notes mention roughly 120 km and describe reception at the airport arrival area, with hotel, house, or residence coordination within a stated central-radius limit. It is the most focused of the three products and suits travelers who want a direct transfer instead of a sightseeing program. The listing also notes that lunch stops and shopping stops may be possible during the trip, but food, drinks, tickets, and other unconfirmed extras are not included.
Private Transport – LAWN | CINNAMON
- Private transportation is included.
- An air-conditioned vehicle is included.
- Child seating support is listed among the inclusions.

Private Tour to Serra Gaúcha Vineyards
Best for: Travelers who want a private full-day trip centered on wineries and the Serra Gaúcha wine region
This is the most clearly themed touring option of the three, with about ten hours set aside for visiting wineries in the Serra Gaúcha region. The description says the driver-guide helps choose wineries based on the traveler’s preferred style of wine or sparkling wine, which makes it a good fit for people who want guidance rather than a fixed sightseeing route. The itinerary notes mention a departure from the hotel and time for photos along the way. Meals, snacks, coffees, and tasting or visitation fees are not included, so travelers should plan for those separately if they want them.
Private Tour to Serra Gaúcha Vineyards
- A driver/guide is available for the full day.
- Private transportation is included.
- The itinerary can be adjusted around wine or sparkling preferences.
Compare this when you want the most comprehensive falls itinerary.
Iguazu Falls: Private Day tour Brasil & Argentina
Best for: Travelers who want a private sightseeing day that combines the Brazilian and Argentine sides of Iguazu Falls
This is the longest and most sightseeing-focused of the three options, with about eight to ten hours devoted to Iguazu Falls on both the Brazilian and Argentine sides. The product description contrasts the two sides, with one side emphasizing closer trail views and the other side emphasizing broader panoramas, so the day is designed for travelers who want to experience both perspectives. The inclusions list transportation for the full day, multilingual guiding, special access for the Brazilian park VIP pass, and preference lines for immigration in Argentina. Park fees, the ecotax, and the boat tour ticket are not included, so this is a guided touring day rather than an all-in package.
Iguazu Falls: Private Day tour Brasil & Argentina
- Transportation for the entire day is included.
- An English-, Spanish-, and Portuguese-speaking guide is included.
- It includes special access for the Brazilian park VIP pass and preference lines for immigration in Argentina.
Choosing the right South Brazil itinerary style
If you want the least involved option, choose the transfer-style product that gets you from one place to another privately. If you want a themed day with a slower pace, the vineyard tour is the clearest fit. If you want the most ambitious sightseeing day, the falls tour offers the broadest route and the most built-in guidance.
Airport transfer to Gramado | Canela
A transfer-style route with limited trip time and no structured sightseeing program.
Serra Gaúcha vineyards
A flexible winery-focused day in the Vale dos Vinhedos area with guide assistance.
Brazil and Argentina sides of Iguazu Falls
A private full-day falls experience that combines two park perspectives in one trip.
