Guaraqueçaba, Protected municipality in eastern Paraná, Brazil
The municipality encompasses 2,011 square kilometers of coastal territory, containing extensive mangrove areas and multiple environmental conservation zones within its boundaries.
Founded as a Portuguese settlement in 1545, Guaraqueçaba gained municipal status in 1947 after previously being integrated into the administration of Paranaguá.
The name Guaraqueçaba originates from Tupi-Guarani language, referring to the red ibis birds that populated the region in past centuries.
