Ribeirão Claro

Ribeirão Claro is a municipality in the Norte Pioneiro Paranaense region of Paraná state, situated at about 535 meters elevation. The area spreads across agricultural land with settlements and road connections to neighboring towns.

From the late 19th century, settlers from São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro established themselves in this area. They cultivated coffee in the fertile purple soil that defines the region's character to this day.

The Sanctuary of Saint Vincent de Pallotti is the only temple in the world dedicated to this saint, attracting religious visitors throughout the year.

The municipality connects to larger cities through highways, with the nearest airports in Londrina about 180 kilometers away and in Curitiba about 400 kilometers away. Visitors should plan to arrive by car or use regional bus services.

Several suspension bridges, including Ponte Alves Lima connecting to the nearby town of Chavantes, are notable structures in the region. These bridges have been reconstructed multiple times throughout history, reflecting the area's eventful past.
