Carambeí + Castrolanda Tour
At 7 am we'll pick you up at your hotel in Curitiba and drive to Castrolanda, approximately three hours away.
We'll get off the bus and start exploring this village of Dutch origin. The population was founded by Dutch immigrants in 1951, something we'll see in the architecture of their houses and visiting the historical museum of Castrolanda.
We'll learn about the causes, phases and motivations of immigration from the Netherlands to Brazil. Due to this migration, there was an important economic development thanks to the agricultural companies that created these European colonies. We'll also visit a life-size replica of the Woldzigt mill in Roderwolde, located in the north of Holland.
Afterwards, we'll take a break at a local restaurant to enjoy a typical Dutch lunch.
With renewed energy, we'll return to the minibus and go to Carambeí, another village closely linked to Dutch immigration. Here, we'll visit the Historical Park, an open-air space that recreates a Dutch village from the beginning of the 20th century.
We'll learn lots of interesting facts about Dutch culture and tradition as we stroll through this village and contemplate its church, houses and mills. You'll feel like oyu've travelled all the way to the Netherlands without having left Brazil!
We'll finish the excursion at 7 pm arriving at your hotel.
