The beach of Caiobá, which is about an hour and a half from Curitiba
A popular weekend trip from Curitiba, the town of Morretes tends to be warmer than the city, and you can get there via a train which winds through the mountains on its way down to the beach.
A wheelbarrow full of pinhão. This classic winter treat is the seed of a pine tree that is native to the southern part of Brazil. The seeds are boiled to get them out of the shell and are typically enjoyed with a glass of hot wine, known as quentão.
During the Catholic festival of Corpus Christi, various churches around the country gather in Curitiba. They each create part of a large piece of artwork in the street, which stretches on for miles. The designs are made of sand, cloth, small rocks, and various other materials. After they have mass together in the square, the church members have a parade, during which they walk directly on top of this temporary "carpet" that they created.
