Presentation
The tourist that visits Curitiba, in Paraná, has the rare oportunity of going
on a comfortable and safe train ride. Crossing the sierra that connects the metropolitan zone to the coast of Paraná along hundred year old
rails, the Serra Verde Express trains offer a quality while the tourist enjoy the fascinating view.
Everything begins in the Train Station in Curitiba, where the trains that take
the visitors to Paranaguá leave. During the ride, the tourist admire natural sculptures and admire the true enginneering feats, while the
animated guides tell the details about the periods of the History of Brazil that were related to the construction of the railway.
In the beginning, the railway was projected for the transportation of freight between the Paranaguá
Seaport and the Capital. However, today it is also used by the tourist that can choose in which type of train they want to travalin. There are
options from the simplest one to the most luxurious ones for those who don't dispense comfort even on a country trip.

No one can resist the enchantment of this ride. First because it is very unusual
in brazilian standards, since the people are not used to this type of transportation. After that, there is the advantage of being able to
enjoy the landscape without having to pay attention to the traffil. All the attention is turned to appreciate the green of theAtlantic Forest
the natural monuments and architectonic constructions.
It is a ride that the tourist who is in Curitiba can not miss and has the time
to get to know not only the city but qlso the coast and other cities that are as interesting in the Paraná. |
