Guaraquecaba
One of the earliest Portuguese settlements in Paraná, dating to 1545, Guaraqueçaba sits on the coast of southern Brazil between the bays of Paranaguá and Laranjeiras, with the Serra do Mar mountains rising behind it. The little waterfront town draws ecotourism interest for its largely intact forest reserves and ecosystems, and the wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites. A small central core offers cafés and restaurants.
