Piraquara is a municipality in the metropolitan area surrounding Curitiba in southern Brazil. The town sits on elevated terrain and features important water reservoirs that supply drinking water to nearby communities.

The area grew from a small settlement into a modern town as the metropolitan region expanded around Curitiba. This growth was shaped by its location and proximity to the region's water resources.

The town hosts community festivals that celebrate local traditions and regional products throughout the year. These gatherings reflect how residents connect with one another and share their way of life.
