Discover Araucária

Discover Araucária through its diverse cultural offerings: a building recognized as architectural heritage that hosts changing exhibitions, a theater with several performing arts disciplines, historic buildings and rural tourism. You can tailor your stay to your interests, whether you are more drawn to exhibitions and history, performing arts, reading or an outing into the surrounding countryside.

Culture and history in Araucária

Casa da Cultura was built in 1895 and recognized as municipal architectural heritage in 1981 by Decree No. 2,582. It includes the Espaço para Exposições Reynaldo Alves Pinto exhibition space, which hosts changing exhibitions. This makes Casa da Cultura a place to visit for anyone who would also like to explore changing exhibitions during their trip. You can make this visit a cultural highlight in its own right, without linking it to a fixed exhibition program.

Museu Tingüi-Cuera also offers a historical perspective on Araucária's cultural venues: it opened in 1980 and moved to its current location in 1982. Another preserved historic building is Casa do Cavalo Baio. Together with Casa da Cultura and the museum, these sites offer different starting points for a trip focused on architectural history and cultural institutions. If you are particularly interested in historic buildings, you can make a note of these places as options for your further travel planning.

Teatro da Praça opened on November 16, 1990. Its program includes dance, theater, music and puppet theater performances. This adds a range of performing arts to the exhibitions and historic buildings. If you are traveling with children, you can include puppet theater as one of the available disciplines among your family's cultural interests.

Reading, play and rural tourism

Biblioteca Pública Municipal Emiliano Perneta has approximately 28,000 volumes. Casa das Palavras Brincantes focuses on books about literature for all age groups and educational toys. The Casa also lends chairs and books for reading in Parque Cachoeira. For families who would like to include reading and play in their travel interests alongside outings, these are distinct ways to get to know Araucária from another perspective. The range of age groups covered by the available literature also makes the offer interesting for adults and children traveling together.

If you would rather focus on rural tourism than cultural sites, you can explore Caminhos de Guajuvira. The route includes 15 points open to visitors. Araucária's Centro de Informações Turísticas provides tourist brochures, an inventory of tourist attractions and maps. It also takes reservations for places on the Caminhos de Guajuvira rural tourism outing. This gives you a concrete starting point if you would like to include this outing in your travel plans. The number of points indicates the route's scope; on its own, it does not say anything about the duration of a visit.

Another notable landmark is Santuário Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, located on Araucária's central square. You can take this location into account if the square is of interest to you. When choosing a vacation apartment or house, it is also worth deciding on your personal focus: Are cultural institutions and history your priority, are you mainly interested in reading and play, or would you like to concentrate on Caminhos de Guajuvira?
