Irati

Located at an elevation of 872 meters, Irati extends across an undulating terrain with gray and red soils in the north and brown soils in the south.

The establishment of the Iraty railway station in the 1890s marked the beginning of the settlement, leading to its official founding as a municipality in 1907.

The municipality population maintains strong Polish and Ukrainian influences through traditional festivals, customs, and regional gastronomy, including pierogi and borrego preparations.

Situated at the intersection of BR-277 and BR-153 highways, Irati connects to major transportation routes and lies 153 kilometers from Curitiba, the state capital.

The region contains significant geological formations from the Upper Permian period, known as the Irati Formation, which yielded important fossil discoveries.
