Mandirituba

Mandirituba sits at 870 meters elevation in Paraná state and encompasses agricultural areas alongside nature reserves throughout its territory. The landscape is dominated by chamomile fields and rural scenery typical of the region.

The area became an official municipality in 1960 after developing from scattered settlements into a structured administrative unit. This shift marked the transition from isolated farming communities into an organized municipality.

The people here descend from Portuguese, Polish, Ukrainian, Italian, and German settlers whose farming customs remain visible in how the land is worked today.

The best time to visit is August when the International Walk in Nature festival happens and local growers display their chamomile harvest. You can observe the farming cycle and explore the rural layout of the place during this period.

This place is Latin America's largest chamomile producer and supplies a significant portion of Brazil's medicinal herb market. This specialized production has developed over decades into the economic backbone of the region.
