The Itupava Trail was used in former times to link Curitiba to the coast. After Estrada da Graciosa and the railroad were built, it was not used any more for transportation, and in the 80s and 90s young people discovered it as a good adventure alternative. Due to the extreme, uncontrolled use in those years, the path lost a lot of its interest. In a German-Brazilian project, the path was later restored. Mud was taken away from the stones, bridges were built, and visitors' centres at the beginning and end of the path were created. In this way the Itupava Path is once again a wonderful alternative for those looking for adventure in the middle of the rain forest, discovering its impressive fauna and flora.
The tour begins in Quatro Barras, about 20 km from Curitiba and ends in Porto de Cima / Morretes.
Difficulty level: You should be in good shape and able to walk at least eight hours. You will be descending the Itupava Path and if the group is mixed (of different ability levels), the hike might last longer.
