What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary

"O povo de Triunfo nasceu de duas sesmarias doadas pelo então Governador Geral da Capitania do Rio Grande do Sul, General Gomes Freire de Andrade, no ano de 1752, localizadas entre o rio Taquari e seu afluente arroio Capote e o antigo arroio da Ponte. Pertenciam elas a Manoel Gonçalves Meirelles e a Francisco da Silva, ambos casados com filhas de Jerônimo de Ornellas Menezes e Vasconcellos, povoador inicial de Porto Alegre, e que para aí seguiria por volta de 1754, logo após a instalação dos casais açorianos em suas terras desapropriadas no Porto de Viamão."
Armando Junior
"Triunfo é um município histórico do Rio Grande do Sul, situado à margem esquerda do Rio Taquari e, um fato bem interessante: à sua frente, no lado oposto, ocorre a confluência do Rio Jacuí com o Taquari, com o consequente aumento do volume d'água. Também à frente da sede municipal de Triunfo, no outro lado rio, fica São Jerônimo e a ligação entre essas duas comunidades é através de nevegação. Triunfo, por sua localização geográfica, viveu, eu diria, uma situação de isolamento ao longo do tempo, com acessos rodoviários precários, que só viriam a melhorar com a implantação do Polo Petroquímico no município, havendo hoje duas rodovias asfaltadas que ligam a sede municipal com a BR-386, também conhecida como a Tabaí-Canoas. É de se destacar, no entanto, que no passado uma linha ferroviária passava por Triunfo, porém, ao que se sabe, desativada já há bom tempo. É de se destacar também que, com as chuvaradas ocorridas em maio de 2024 no RS, a enchente terminou atingindo duramente a cidade e o município de Triunfo, onde várias casas foram destruídas pelo volume, pela força das águas. Enfim, em Triunfo nasceu o grande líder da Revolução Farroupilha no RS, o General Bento Gonçalves, que é bastante referenciado, embora a casa onde nasceu seja hoje um modesto museu. Na verdade, Triunfo, cidade e município, sobretudo cidade, está a necessitar de um choque de gestão pela beleza de sua história, cuja igreja matriz é de 1754, tão antiga quanto à catedral de Rio Grande."
