The map
São Joaquim sits high on the Serra Catarinense plateau in southern Brazil, at an altitude of more than 1,300 metres. From above, the town appears as a fairly regular grid laid over gently rolling ground, with streets bending where the hills interrupt them. Beyond the town, the map opens into pastures, woodland and orchards crossed by long country roads.
The town is known as one of the coldest in Brazil, where frost is common in winter and snow falls in some years, which draws visitors from across the country. The cool climate has also made São Joaquim a centre of apple growing, and in recent decades vineyards producing high-altitude wines have spread across the surrounding hills.
A São Joaquim map poster captures a side of Brazil many people never picture. In monochrome, the neat town blocks, the winding roads over the plateau and the scattered streams and ponds form a quiet, spacious composition, well suited to the cool, open character of the highlands.
The centre follows a mostly regular grid, bending and breaking where it meets the rolling highland terrain around the edges of town.
Apple orchards and high-altitude vineyards fill the countryside, and the roads serving them wind in long curves across the hills.
Small rivers and ponds cross the open grassland and woodland of the plateau, adding soft, irregular lines to the outer map.

Why São Joaquim
São Joaquim is where many Brazilians first saw frost or snow, and a map of the town brings back a winter trip, a harvest visit or a family home in the serra. It suits a cosy living room or a wine corner.
Write the title and subtitle in Portuguese, perhaps with the date of your trip, and pick from Classic black and white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. Download the HD files or order a matte print with an optional wooden frame.
