Corupá

Corupá is a municipality in Santa Catarina in southeastern Brazil and sits in the Itapocu Valley region. The area spans roughly 405 square kilometers and extends across flat to gently rolling terrain.

The town was founded to support development of the Itapocu Valley through local administration. Over time, this led to steadier growth and better organization of settlements in the region.

The town is known as the Banana Capital of Santa Catarina, shaping how residents see their community through agricultural tradition. Bananas are so central to the region that they influence local identity and everyday conversations among people.

Visitors can find municipal offices along Rua Francisco Mees, where they can speak with local authorities. The flat landscape makes it easy to get around on foot or by bicycle.

The town combines agriculture with metalworking, creating an unusual mix of farms and small factories side by side. This blend shows how rural places can diversify their economy without abandoning their roots.
