Going to Brazil

Jenna and I are going to Brazil in the spring. We will be staying in Curitiba. Any world travelers out there have any suggestions for a must do/see in that area?

I know the area very well. Spent a little over 5 years in the area as I workd as Board Chairman for a business whose South American head office was in Parana state.

Food is excellent especially if you are a meat eater and like BBQ / the wine is even better!!

How long are you staying? If staying for a while gladly hook you up with some local friends / families if you are looking for an authentic portaguese / gaucho experience.

For me a must do would be a small airplane ride to Foz do Iguaçu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foz_do_Igua%C3%A7u

I really enjoy wildlife sanctuarys and especially water falls. Used to live Niagra Falls and for sure Foz exceeds Niagra Falls 10 fold. Here are some actual pic's of the falls. White water boating, swimming with the croc's, etc...

10 days is fantastic... you will have lots of time to explore and see the sights.

I am actually in Brazil right now, a little further north in Salvador, Bahia state. Boakley is right. It seems that most of the women can't afford to buy clothes their size so they are all in something a couple sizes too small.....
