This is a popular private train tour to Morretes in Curitiba. Travel to see one of the the largest Atlantic Rain Forest areas left in Brazil. This scenic tour that includes a typical lunch. Visit Morretes and Antonina before returning to your hotel in Curitiba.The single-track line through the Serra do Mar is one of the highlights in Paraná. Opened in 1885, it was one of the big challenges of that time for engineers. The track starts in Curitiba at 934 meters above the ocean, and ends in Morretes just some meters above sea level. The distance until Morretes is approx. 70 km and takes about 3.5 hours. The track leads through luscious tropical vegetation of the Atlantic Rain Forest, with numerous breathtaking bridges while sitting in a train of the 1960s.
Morretes was a very important place by the end of the 19th century because it had 3 river ports to export the mate-tea and sugar-cane produced in the region. Transfer to Antonina, a lovely colonial harbour town with beautiful views to the bay.
