Paiçandu

Paiçandu is a municipality in northern Paraná that sits on elevated terrain and functions as a regional hub for commerce and services. The town combines residential neighborhoods with commercial areas, reflecting its role as a service center for the surrounding region.

The settlement emerged in 1948 as a trading center in an expanding agricultural region and gained municipal status in 1960. This development was part of the broader settlement of northern Paraná, which reshaped economic patterns across the state.

The municipal celebrations bring together thousands of residents who maintain local traditions through regional food, music, and community gatherings throughout the year.

The city is easily reached from Maringá, whose airport offers connections to larger urban centers. Having a car helps for getting around, as most facilities and services are spread throughout the municipal area.

The local economy combines three distinct sectors with services at 52%, manufacturing at 39%, and agriculture at 9% of the municipal production.
