Paraná: Iguaçu Falls, green cities, islands and canyon country.

Paraná combines one of Brazil’s global icons with a surprisingly varied southern state. Foz do Iguaçu, Curitiba, Ilha do Mel, Tibagi, Prudentópolis and Lapa move between waterfalls, urban design, Atlantic coast, canyons, immigrant heritage and historic inland routes.

State overview

Paraná

The state works well as separate western, Curitiba/coast and Campos Gerais journeys. Foz is a natural standalone anchor; Curitiba pairs easily with Ilha do Mel or historic towns; the inland plateau rewards travellers with a car and more time for waterfalls and canyon landscapes.
