About Curitiba

Curitiba is the capital of the state of Paraná.

Although it is a big and modern city, the strong influence of the immigrants (especially Germans, Italians and Poles) is apparent.

Curitiba prides itself on being the best city to live in Brazil, without the clutter and confusion that usually accompanies urban growth.

There are wide, tree-lined avenues, pleasant squares, parks and pedestrian walkways gracing the downtown area.
