Vila Velha Park Tour

After picking you up at your hotel in Curitiba at 7 am, we'll drive to Vila Velha State Park, located just outside the city of Ponta Grossa. The minibus ride will take about an hour and a half.

Once at our destination, we'll start touring this natural place declared Historical and Artistic Heritage of the State of Paraná. We'll combine trips on board the minibus with others on foot to get to know this place in depth.

During the tour through the Vila Velha Park, we'll see the sandstones, huge rock formations created 300 million years ago. We'll learn many interesting facts about these natural monuments that have become a tourist attraction in Paraná. Visitors may spot shapes such as a camel, a cup, or a turtle in these formations.

We'll also explore the 'furnas', which are underground lakes or aquifers surrounded by lush vegetation. You'll have ample opportunity for photography, followed by a visit to the Golden Lagoon, reaching a depth of 12 meters (39 feet). Surrounding ecosystems include araucaria forests, grasslands, and savannahs.

After the visit to Vila Velha Park, we'll head to Colônia Witmarsum, a village of German origin known for cheese, sausages, and cookies, where we'll enjoy a typical Germanic lunch. The excursion concludes at 1 pm with a drop-off at your hotel in Curitiba.
