Curitiba

The CuritibaParanagu? train ride is exceptional as you gaze out of the train window, a condensed view of the Brazils terrifyingly huge jungle and mountain landscape passes serenely by. Youll also see a lot of bridges 30 to be precise. The train sets off Curitiba and chugs along 100 kilometres to Paranagu it takes around four hours in total and passes the Serra do Mar, which is the most pristine area of the rainforest.
The last stop is an 18thcentury town Morretes, where you can have barreado (a slowcooked meat stew) for lunch and then head back to the city on the same train or catch the bus.
