Vila Velha and Buraco do Padre from Curitiba in a Small Group

10 hours

Easy

Discover Vila Velha and Buraco do Padre from Curitiba on a shared tour of approximately 10 hours, in a small group of up to 10 passengers, with hikes among sandstone formations, caves, lagoons and a 30-meter waterfall.
I left Curitiba on a shared full-day trip to Vila Velha State Park, located about 90 km from the city.
I toured its sandstone formations that are approximately 300 million years old, in addition to Furnas and Lagoa Dourada, with quiet walks and some sectors with steps.
Then there will be a break for lunch or a snack on behalf of the passenger before continuing to Buraco do Padre, about 30 km away on rural roads.
In Buraco do Padre, walk along a path of approximately 1 km to a 30-meter waterfall. The park has bathrooms and a cafeteria.
The tour lasts around 10 hours, is carried out in groups of 2 to 10 passengers and returns to Curitiba at approximately 18:00.
