Passengers at Porto Alegre Airport can now be delighted by the operation of Criamigos - a bear workshop. Founded in 2016 in Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul, the brand's purpose is to spread love in the form of enchanting experiences that bring back fond and unforgettable memories by making a customizable stuffed animal.

The Criamigos vending machine is on Level 3, next to the Food Court. The brand offers each guest the unique experience of creating and customizing their own little friend from birth, through the ceremony of life, voice recording, choosing clothes, to filling in the birth certificate. In this way, they transform dreams and create special companions for the rest of their lives.

"It's gratifying to see the children's eyes light up as they make the journey to give birth to their Criamigos. It's an endless delight! When I leave the house, I tell everyone that I'm not going to work, I'm going to do what I love, which is being surrounded by cuddly toys and making dreams come true," says Vanessa Costa, a Criamigos franchisee.

"This is a new experience that we're bringing to Porto Alegre Airport. The bear workshop delights passengers who can take away a unique item as a souvenir of their visit to our state," says Rodrigo Sousa, Fraport Brasil's commercial director.
