Tijucas do Sul

Tijucas do Sul is a municipality in Brazil's Paraná state, covering 672 square kilometers at an elevation of 940 meters. The area combines rural landscapes with administrative functions that serve the broader region.

The municipality grew from a small settlement into an administrative center and now manages part of the Guaratuba Environmental Protection Area established in 1992. This development made it a key player in regional conservation.

Local people maintain strong ties to ranching and horse breeding through farms where these practices remain part of everyday life. You can see this connection in how the land is used and how communities organize around these activities.

The location is 55 kilometers from Curitiba and accessible by regular bus services and well-maintained road networks. The elevation and rural structure influence how you get around once there.

One tenth of the municipality's territory is part of the protected Guaratuba Environmental Area, playing an active role in regional conservation goals. This weaves together economic activities with the protection of valuable ecosystems.
