Exploring Santa Catarina & Paraná
Although the uncontested highlights of this region are
Paraná's magnificent Iguaçu Falls and Santa Catarina's
island resort of Florianópolis, these two states have
much more to offer. Santa Catarina's 310-mile (500-km)
coast features sheltered coves and long expanses of
beach, while in Paraná, the Atlantic forest preserves
of the Parque Nacional Ilha de Superagüi
encompass dense virgin forest. Ilha do Mel, at
the mouth of Paranaguá Bay, is a popular
beach resort, and just across the bay on the
mainland is the scenic port of Paranaguá.
Inland, both states have a robust agricultural
industry. Vast soya farms dominate large
parts of Paraná, while small family holdings
are characteristic of Santa Catarina.
Descendants of European immigrants
continue their traditions in these states,
such as the Austrians in Treze Tílias.
