Description
The train ride is the most popular in Curitiba and the region! Set aside a day for the tour and enjoy it. In the morning you will visit Antonina, a friendly little historic port town and then go to friendly Morretes, famous for its gastronomy and the Nhundiaquara River. Typical lunch included in one of the best restaurants in Morretes and free time to walk through the picturesque streets there. In the afternoon, return by train from Morretes to Curitiba. You will pass through a railway with incredible landscapes and a lot of history. It takes approximately 4 hours on the train up Serra do Mar, through the largest preserved area of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. You will pass through tunnels and bridges and the guides will tell you a little about the challenge of building this railway between 1880 and 1885. To this day it is an engineering masterpiece! The train category is tourist, which has a guide only in Portuguese. The van guide also only speaks Portuguese.

Best train ride
Our second time on this train ride and again was spectacular. My only observation (and not complaint) is about the restaurant that serves lunch in morets, the other time we went, in the other restaurant the meal was much better and with more varieties, outside that the experience was great again.

Olá, Josi! Dependendo da categoria reservada, há uma rotação entre os restaurantes reservados. Que pena que desse vez não agradou tanto.

Beautiful city, welcoming people.
Good service, personalized. However, I think that the lunch should be 1 p two people, 2 lunch ends up being a lot of food, generates waste.
