Cascavel

Cascavel is an administrative division on plateau land in the southern state of Paraná, sitting at an elevation of 615 meters. The area extends over 2,101 square kilometers of agricultural terrain.

The settlement began during the mate herb trade at the beginning of the 1900s. Official status as a division came in 1952.

The settlements across the region trace back to waves from Europe that arrived during timber operations, and these roots remain visible in local food and customs.

Six intercity roads connect this place to other centers, making it a transport hub 504 kilometers west of the capital Curitiba. Travelers find access to wide agricultural areas here.

The region accounts for one-quarter of Paraná's entire grain output, focusing on soybeans, wheat, corn, rice, cotton, and beans. This agricultural weight shapes the entire surrounding landscape.
