Paraná (PR)
The Majesty of the South.
From the thunderous power of the world’s largest waterfall system to the modernist pulse of its highland capital, Paraná is a state of monumental scale and refined logistics. It is a land of Araucaria pine forests, deep red earth, and a European-influenced heritage that reflects a sophisticated, orderly beauty.
The World’s Stage: Iguassu Falls (Foz do Iguaçu)
Experience one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature with the "Brasilis" edge. We bypass the crowds to provide private, early-access tours to the Devil’s Throat before the park opens to the public. Stay at the legendary Hotel das Cataratas, the only property located inside the National Park, where you can witness the falls under the moonlight. For the ultimate perspective, we arrange private helicopter charters over the 275 cascading falls and the "Triple Frontier" where Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay meet.
The Modern Pulse: Curitiba
Known as Brazil’s "Model City," Curitiba is a sanctuary of urban planning and botanical beauty. At Brasilis.Travel, we curate private tours of the Oscar Niemeyer Museum (the "Eye") and the glass-domed Botanical Garden. We focus on the city’s thriving contemporary art scene and elite "Sulista" gastronomy, where traditional wood-fired techniques meet modern culinary precision.
The Emerald Descent: The Serra Verde Express
The journey from the highlands to the coast is one of the world’s most scenic rail routes. We offer the Luxury Great Brazil Express—the only luxury train in the country. Travel in a 1930s-style mahogany carriage through the dense, cloud-covered Atlantic Forest, sipping artisanal coffee as you descend the rugged mountains toward the colonial charm of Morretes.
The Canyons of the North: Guartelá
For the adventurer seeking the road less traveled, we provide private 4x4 expeditions to the Guartelá Canyon, the sixth-longest canyon in the world. Explore ancient rock paintings and hidden waterfalls in a landscape of dramatic sandstone formations that feel worlds away from the coastal tropics.
🌊 Nature's Thunder
The Iguaçu Falls in Foz do Iguaçu are one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, featuring 275 waterfalls that create a breathtaking spectacle on the border with Argentina. The state also offers the scenic Serra Verde Express train ride through the Atlantic Forest to the historic town of Morretes. In the capital, Curitiba, the Botanical Garden and its iconic glass greenhouse have become symbols of Brazilian urban planning and beauty.
🥘 The Pine Nut Feast
The signature dish of Paraná is "Barreado," a beef stew that is slow-cooked in a sealed clay pot for over 20 hours until the meat completely dissolves, traditionally served with banana and manioc flour. The state also celebrates its colder climate with "Pinhão" (the seed of the Araucaria pine tree), which is roasted or used in various recipes. In the south, the influence of German and Polish immigrants is visible in the local sausages and pastries.
