  • Furnas: Big craters with vegetation and water inside
  • Lagoa Dourada: “Golden Lagoon” has its names as its waters become a golden color by sunset.
The Witmarsum colony was founded 1953 by menonite immigrants. Menonites are “cousins” of the Amish people in USA, but have modern habits and techniques.
They settled in the former Cancela farm, that was divided into smaller farms of 250 hectares each, mainly for milk cattle and grains.

The local community still keeps traditions such as religion, the German language and dedication to work. The settlement is famous for its fine cheese production and milk, sold mainly in Curitiba. The history of the place can be seen at “Heimat Museum”. Enjoy the country environment and a typical German lunch.
