The local experience
A hill at the southern end of the central waterfront, next to Praia de Brejatuba (beach), topped by a statue of Christ the Redeemer that has become a symbol of the town. A stairway of 197 steps leads to the top, a natural viewpoint overlooking the beaches.
The second-largest bay in Paraná, about 48 square kilometers, it receives 16 rivers and is dotted with islands and mangroves in an environmental protection area. The ferry crossing to Caiobá offers a wide view of the water and the mountains.
About 455 meters high, on the shore of the bay, it has trails with views of the Atlantic Ocean. The Cabaraquara area, at the foot of the hill, is known for tastings of oysters farmed in the bay.
Built in the 18th century and listed as state heritage in 1938, it bears witness to the colonial period of the old village, founded in 1771. Inside are a hand-carved wooden altarpiece and a polychrome statue of the patron saint.
