Discovering the Serra Verde by Bike

Having seen almost continual growth since the 19th century, Curitiba, the vast capital city of Paraná State, is the perfect place to begin an exploration of this enthrallingly versatile region. Saddle up for a cosmopolitan biking tour, swinging by the best cafes and eateries in the city for a flavor of its fascinating past and intriguing present, best-explained through mouthwatering food and aromatic coffee! Then to Morretes we go and on two wheels, the biking continues at an altogether different pace compared with the bustle of Curitiba, swapping busy city streets for rural pastures, gushing rivers, abandoned mills, lakes and dense forest. Last, but certainly not least, a short ferry ride to Ilha do Mel ensures this grand Serra Verde tour culminates with dramatic beaches, ancient fortress walls and a charming old lighthouse overlooking the windswept coastline, bliss!
