Trips and Tours to Curitiba
About Curitiba
The 1970s and 80s saw a groundbreaking incentive launched in the city of Curitiba to encourage residents to leave their cars behind, walk more and utilise public transport. This is still very apparent with Curitiba being probably the easiest big city in Brazil to get around. Homelessness and pollution were also key problems that were tackled head on and the city now boasts the highest recycling rate in the world and the beautiful parks that frequent the city keep their grasses trimmed by an army of hungry sheep rather than noisy, pollutant lawn mowers!
