São Pedro do Butiá, also known simplesmente as Butiá in Portuguese or Butioo in German, has a popular pioneer village park called Centro Germânico Missioneiro (here missioneiro is a reference to the old Jesuit Missions, established in the general area during colonial times, around three hundred years before the more modern settlement of the area). The village has many different structures, like a general store, a country school, and some relocated old homes which are all set around a large statue of Saint Peter, the patron saint of this mostly catholic municipality. According to official information, the 30 meters tall statue of St. Peter is the same size as the world-famous statue of Christ the Redeemer, found at the top of the Sugarloaf Mountain in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
