Maravilha

Located at an elevation of 624 meters, Maravilha extends across 170 square kilometers of land in the Oeste Catarinense region of Santa Catarina state.

The municipality emerged from a pine forest settlement in 1949, when immigrants from Rio Grande do Sul state, primarily of German and Italian descent, established the first communities.

The municipality gained recognition as the City of Children in 1970 due to the high number of young students participating in local parades and events.

The municipal administration maintains three radio stations and two local newspapers, providing residents with information about community services and regional developments.

The name Maravilha originated from early settlers' exclamations upon discovering the extensive pine forests, expressing their wonder at the natural landscape.
