Full Jazz Hotel, Curitiba

Advantages: wonderful place to go
Disadvantages: none

...Curitiba is at south of Brazil and there are lots of europeans living there, and that's probably why is everything in place. The meat there you can eat until you cannot see food anymore :-) Food is very cheap! Ask for costela de ripa God is something from the sky! Nice! The city is very european and therefore doesn't offer many places to go late of the night as like Rio where 24 hours a day you can go anywhere, but Jayme Lerner the governor had an idea to open the 24 hours shopping where you can go to have a pizza or beer...jazz and lots of another things. People is very polite, and you can hear german, italian, people talking perhaps your own language...it is nice place to go if you have the chance!!! The city smell pine...very nice!... Read review

...Iguaçu (or Iguazú) waterfalls are some of the most impressive in the world, not the biggest, widest nor tallest waterfall, but 275 separate waterfalls spread over a three-kilometre crescent between Argentina and Brazil. Most of the falls are in Argentina, but the best views are from the Brazilian side. While on holiday in Brazil, after a wonderful few days in Rio de Janeiro and before heading into the Amazon Jungle I spent a few days at Iguaçu, staying at the wonderful Tropical Das Cataratas Hotel. Getting There We intended to fly from Rio to Curitiba, but the weather was too bad for a small plane, so we flew to São Paulo and caught a bigger plane from there to Curitiba, to catch the connecting flight to Iguaçu. Hotel Tropical Das Cataratas We stayed at the four-star Tropical Das Cataratas which is about ten miles from the airport... Read review

...I went to Curitiba to meet a friend of mine I had lived with in London. The South of Brazil, including Curitiba, is where most of the European settlers went at the beginning of the century. There are plenty of blonde people around. The City is quite large, but very well organized, clean with a nice atmosphere. The City itself can be visited for its parks and some museums. I spent most of the time with my friend, we visited a local Churrascaria, where you can eat as much meat as you like. The South of Brazil has a strong reputation for good meat, and I can only confirm this. From Curitiba we went by train to Paranagua. This trainline had been created at the end of 19th century and goes from the highs of Curitiba, down to the sea. Very much recommended for the scenery!... Read review
