Umuarama, Regional administrative center in Paraná, Brazil
Umuarama is a large administrative center in the Paraná region of southern Brazil with multiple residential and commercial neighborhoods spread across its territory. The city sits at about 430 meters in elevation and houses various industrial, financial, and educational facilities that shape its economic life.
The Companhia Melhoramentos Norte do Paraná founded Umuarama on July 4, 1955 as part of its initiative to develop the Paraná region. This planned urban development shaped the city's structure and growth from its early days.
The city preserves its agricultural roots through regular street markets where local producers sell regional products, keeping the area's heritage alive.
The city is well-equipped for visitors with banks, hospitals, and schools distributed across different neighborhoods. The best time to explore is during warmer months when street markets are most active.
Estância Paris holds a surprising architectural feature: a scaled reproduction of the Eiffel Tower that stands among local structures. This unexpected element brings European design into the city's landscape.
