"I think I'm gonna like this place."

Attractions: 

"Lago Negro" (Black lake): it has already been a great forest reservation of the area, but it was destroyed by a fire in 1942. In 1953, there were a reforestation and the construction of the dam. The seedlings of the pine trees that border the lake came from the Black Forest, in Germany, then the name Black Lake. There are trails for walks and pedalo boats. 

"The city is very clean and tidy."

Tips by GUSTAVO VIVACQUA  

1. You will put on some weight in that trip. Fondues, chocolates, wines, cheeses and great dinners with your girl is the best option for the night. That is a typical trip for couples.  

2. Who is alone will eat a lot also, but there is rafting in Paranhama and some walks to the waterfalls of the Bride's Veil and of the Narcissuses.   

3. Visit the neighboring city, Canela.  

4. For who is keen on old cars, there is a museum with several ones in the city. 

5. In the winter the city gets full because of the rare possibility of snowing. 

6. During the movie festival, the city is very full. Therefore, reservations in advance are essencial.
