Ituporanga

Ituporanga is a municipality in the Vale do Itajai region of Santa Catarina, situated at 370 meters elevation. The town spreads across rolling terrain with green valleys and river valleys that define its landscape.

The municipality was founded on June 21, 1958, when it separated from Rio do Sul to establish its own administration. This independence marked an important step in the community's development.

European settlers from Germany, Italy, and Poland shaped the town through their architecture and local customs, which remain visible today in community celebrations and traditional crafts.

The best time to visit is during the warmer months, when rainfall is frequent and the landscape is lush and green. Plan for wet conditions and bring appropriate clothing for the climate.

The area is shaped by three rivers that together form a network of waterways influencing daily life and the local economy. These river systems make the region an important water hub in Santa Catarina.
