Morretes, a colonial town dating back to the Brazilian Gold Rush, is nestled on the banks of the Nhundiaquara River and surrounded by the dramatic peaks of Pico do Marumbi State Park. The town’s historic center is a lively hub, but its main draw is the historic Serra Verde Express train, which connects it to Curitiba. Visitors can explore the charming streets and enjoy the scenic journey through lush landscapes, making Morretes a popular day-trip destination.
