Bosque de Portugal, Public green space in Curitiba, Brazil

Bosque de Portugal is a public park in Curitiba's Jardim Social neighbourhood, entered from Rua Fagundes Varela, covering 20,850 m² of green area. A tree-lined avenue crosses a patch of native forest, and the Tarumã river runs alongside the trail, meeting it at three bridges.

The park opened in 1994 as a tribute to Portuguese immigrants who shaped the Curitiba region's development. It was created to honor the important connection between Brazil and Portugal through a dedicated green space.

Portuguese tiles and architectural features are woven throughout the grounds, creating a visual link to Portugal's influence on the region. These details give the space its distinctive character and remind visitors of the Portuguese community's presence.

The park has no set opening hours and is entered from Rua Fagundes Varela in the Jardim Social neighbourhood. A path crosses the native woodland and meets the Tarumã River at three bridges. The Scout group São Luiz de Gonzaga, based next to the park since the 1980s, works on preserving the river and the woods.

The park's 22 pillars carry replica azulejo tiles inscribed with verses by poets of the Portuguese language, including Fernando Pessoa, Luís de Camões, Cecília Meireles and Carlos Drummond de Andrade. A mosaic pavement of Portuguese stone depicts waves and a caravel. Timor-Leste received its own pillar in 2007, after independence.
