Ibiporã, Municipality in Northern Paraná, Brazil
Ibiporã is a municipality in northern Paraná situated on elevated terrain at 364 meters above sea level. The town spreads across the area with various neighborhoods and districts connected by local streets.
In the late 1940s, an Italian priest named José Zanelli arrived and introduced cultural programs to the community. His work in cinema, theater, and music shaped what residents and visitors could experience for decades afterward.
Two pilgrimage routes guide visitors through the town's religious buildings: one connects 24 chapels while the other focuses on historic evangelical churches. These structures show how faith has shaped the local landscape and continues to be part of daily life.
The municipality maintains an online portal where visitors can find information about local projects and city initiatives. Planning a visit during drier periods makes exploring the neighborhoods and streets more comfortable.
Since 1989, an open-air sculpture museum displays works by artist Henrique de Aragão throughout the town's streets. These public artworks turn everyday walks into art experiences without needing to enter a building.
