Morretes, Colonial municipality in Paraná, Brazil
The municipality extends between the Atlantic Forest mountains and the coast, featuring rivers, waterfalls, and preserved colonial buildings along the Nhundiaquara River.
The Jesuits established the settlement in 1733 on the shores of Paranaguá Bay, leading to its growth as a vital trading point between the coast and inland.
The local specialty barreado, a traditional meat stew cooked in clay pots for many hours, represents the culinary heritage of this Brazilian region.
Visitors can reach Morretes through a 74-kilometer train journey from Curitiba, offering views of the Atlantic Forest and mountain passages through tunnels.
The Serra Verde Express train includes a specialized wagon for pets, complete with panoramic windows and waterproof beds for animal passengers.
