União da Vitória

Uniao da Vitoria is a municipality in Parana state located along the Iguazu River. The town sits at an elevation of about 850 meters in a region where the terrain becomes hilly.

The municipality was founded in 1890 as part of Palmas territory before becoming independent. Major changes came during the Contestado War in the early 1900s, a conflict that reshaped the region.

The population descends from Ukrainian, Polish, German, and Italian immigrants who arrived since the town's founding. This heritage shapes how people here identify themselves and celebrate their roots together.

Jose Cleto Airport provides flight options for those arriving by air, while bus routes connect the town to surrounding areas. Most visitors travel by bus or car from other towns in Parana or neighboring regions.

The region features numerous waterfalls scattered through forests and along stream valleys throughout the surrounding landscape. Visitors can explore many of these falls on foot through designated routes that wind through natural areas.
