Parque Tingüi

Parque Tingüi is a large public park in Curitiba that features multiple lakes, walking paths, and gardens planted with native trees and plants. The grounds spread across a considerable area with different zones designed for various activities.

The park was created as part of Curitiba's urban development plan to create green spaces while protecting natural landscapes within the city. This initiative was part of the city's broader effort to integrate environmental protection into urban growth.

The park displays sculptures and art pieces that honor indigenous peoples who lived in the region before the city developed. These works are scattered throughout and tell stories of the area's original inhabitants.

The park has picnic areas, playgrounds, sports facilities, and clearly marked trails for walking, jogging, and cycling. It is best to visit in early morning or late afternoon when the weather is mild and the park is less crowded.

The water bodies within the park form a connected system that creates habitat for wildlife and serves as natural corridors for bird species. These waterways allow different animals to move freely and create a living wildlife community in the heart of the city.
