Curitiba, State of Paraná, Brazil

From lush rainforests, to pristine beaches, to a city life with European flair, Parana is quickly becoming a favorite destination with many travelers. Perhaps though, its main draw is Iguacu Falls. Part of one of the largest waterfall systems in existence, the national park which stands as the gateway to the falls gets tons of visitors each year, all inspired by the phenomenal views the experience provides. Beyond the falls and the miles of gorgeous coastline, Parana really does offer a rich cultural and cosmopolitan vibe. Amazing restaurants, active nightlife and innovative, cutting edge architecture mark a city that stands as one of the richest in Brazil.

Things to See in Parana

  • Iguazu Falls

    Visit the national park and experience the Waterfall Trails—a series of islands creating a staircase effect, which results in spectacular waterfalls all along the Iguacu River. At the end of it all is the Devil’s Throat Canyon which in and of itself is amazing to behold. The park offers boat trips and even white water rafting for the adventurous visitor.
  • Serra Verde Express

    In Curitiba, the capital of the state of Parana, you will find the Serra Verde Express. This exciting train ride runs the gamut as far as Brazilian landscapes--from the mountains down in the jungles to passing by an expanse of the Atlantic. The train ride even includes beer tastings!
  • Ilha do Mel

    One of the best beach resort areas in southern Brazil, Ilha do Mel is an island which travelers can get to by boat. Extremely popular among surfers, it is the perfect spot for anything water related. Or of course, if you just want to relax, enjoy the beautiful sandy beaches or walk along the dunes, Ilha do Mel is the ideal spot for that as well.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.

We had an amazing time flying over the beautiful canyons, admiring the waterfalls from above. While we are both quite adventurous, I have an occasional fear of heights. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, putting our minds perfectly at ease and making the best experience for us possible.

This was one of the BEST experiences I have ever had! We extended our trip into a two-tank dive and got to explore the surrounding areas of the garden eel bay before going into our manta show.

A wedding guest bought this voucher for me and my husband from our wedding registry via The Knot. We had Chiqui and Jonathan as our guides and they were great! Very personable and knowledgeable. They provided a cooler with water, soda and beer.

The catamaran was smooth and clean. The food was wonderful. The captain and staff were friendly and engaging. We could have have asked for a more fun and educational experience around the island. The snorkeling was wonderful with tons of fish, corral and eels.

My husband and I went on the catamaran cruise during our honeymoon in Milos... exceptional experience! I can not recommend it enough! Beautiful views, crystal clear water, delicious food and awesome crew! A trip to Milos would not be complete without this cruise! 10/10!

Francesca, our guide, was super personable and knowledgeable about the city and legends of Venice. The tour started near the train station and followed through all the alleys and streets to San Marco Square. The weather and the sunset were absolutely beautiful as well.
