Paranaguá, Port municipality in Paraná, Brazil
The Port of Paranaguá stretches along the southern Brazilian coast, functioning as the second largest port in Brazil with extensive shipping facilities.
Portuguese explorers established Paranaguá in 1648, making it the oldest city in Paraná state following the discovery of gold in the region.
The city preserves its colonial heritage through the Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres fort, the Museum of Archaeology, and the São Benedictus church from past centuries.
The port connects to Curitiba through rail and highway systems, handling exports of soybeans, coffee, cotton, and sugar from the southern Brazilian states.
The municipality contains sections of the Guaratuba Environmental Protection Area and houses the Bom Jesus Biological Reserve with protected coastal ecosystems.
