Cascavel

Located at an elevation of 615 meters, Cascavel extends across 2,101 square kilometers of plateau land in southern Brazil's agricultural region.

The settlement originated during the mate herb trading period in the early 1900s, leading to its official establishment as a municipality in 1952.

The population reflects strong European influences from Polish, German, and Italian immigrants who settled in the region during the wood trade period.

The city connects to six major intercity roads, positioning it as a transport center 504 kilometers west of Curitiba, the state capital.

Cascavel produces 26 percent of Paraná state's total cereals, focusing on soybeans, wheat, corn, rice, cotton, and beans production.
