Set on Brazil’s lush southern coastline, Paranaguá combines historic character with easy access to pristine island landscapes. In the Historic Centre, narrow colonial streets, colourful façades and lively squares capture the rhythm of local life, while the UFPR Museum showcases the region’s archaeological and ethnological heritage through engaging exhibits. Families and ocean lovers can visit the Paranaguá Aquarium, where marine life displays bring the surrounding Atlantic waters into sharp focus.
Out in the bay, a short boat trip whisks you to Ilha do Mel, a car‑free island known for its unspoilt beaches and scenic walking trails that wind between dunes, viewpoints and lighthouses.
Back on the mainland, the historic Nossa SenhoraFortress guards the coastline with panoramic views over the estuary. Further along the railway, the charming towns of Antonina and Morretes invite you to linger over traditional cuisine in preserved historic centres that feel frozen in time. For a memorable journey through the Atlantic Forest, board the Maria Fumaça Train, Brazil’s oldest steam locomotive, and watch the landscape unfold in a swirl of mist, mountains and jungle‑covered slopes. Paranaguá is the ideal starting point for discovering both the culture and natural beauty of Paraná’s Green Coast.
