Jacarezinho

Jacarezinho is a municipality in northern Paraná situated at approximately 435 meters above sea level and covering around 602 square kilometers of land near the border with São Paulo. The town developed from an agricultural settlement and operates today as a local administrative and educational center with schools and public facilities.

The municipality was founded in 1953 and grew from an agricultural community into an important regional center. Its development was shaped by agricultural tradition and later by investments in education and administration.

The Immaculate Conception Cathedral displays large frescoes and wall paintings that reflect the religious life and agricultural tradition of the region. These artworks shape the appearance of the city center and tell the story of the community's past.

The town is accessible via federal highways BR-369 and BR-153, with Londrina International Airport about 150 kilometers away as the nearest air transportation hub. Visitors should note that the drier months offer the best conditions for exploring, and basic provisions are recommended for longer drives in the region.

The town hosts GeniusCon technology fair and International Coffee Fair, bringing regional innovation and agricultural products into the spotlight. Additionally, it has maintained the Texas Ball tradition since 1958 during carnival season, a firmly rooted custom that shows the blend of local and outside influences.
