Discover Dois Vizinhos

Dois Vizinhos offers a range of ways to shape your stay: a large urban recreation area with a lake, trails in a natural setting, regional foods, and a diverse cultural and event scene. If you are looking for a vacation rental, you can tailor your trip to your interests, whether outdoor activities, culinary discoveries, history, or festivals are what you want your stay to be about.

A lake, trails, and glimpses of greenery

Parque e Gruta Lago Dourado is a 72,500 m² urban recreation area surrounding a central lake. The lake’s water surface covers 40,000 m². Lago Dourado also has a route for walking and running, exercise equipment, a children’s playground, and a picnic area. This offers a range of ways to spend time outdoors: take a walk or run, exercise on the equipment, or take a break at the picnic area. The playground adds a dedicated space for children.

Parque Ecológico Jirau Alto offers a different nature experience: a trail about 1,700 m long runs along the Rio Jirau. Those interested in agriculture and plants will find another focus at UTFPR’s Fazenda Experimental. It includes an ecological trail and a medicinal plant garden. There are also production models and agricultural techniques that can be visited by farmers, technicians, and other experimental stations.

Culture, city history, and special places

The Escadarias Coloridas offer a partial view of the city from the top. The site is also intended for contemplation and physical activities. The Memorial da Sete offers a glimpse into the city’s history: historical photographs are displayed there as images painted on ceramic and set into the walls of one of the city’s first brick buildings.

Moinho Colonial e Cascata Paladini also tells a story of local history. The stone mill was founded in 1956 and is maintained by the Paladini family beside the waterfalls of the same name. The Museu de Antiguidades do Toninho centers on a collection: by appointment, it displays more than 1,000 antique items, especially musical instruments and kitchen utensils. If you plan to visit, making an appointment is part of planning your visit.

Centro Cultura Arte e Vida hosts a wide range of cultural events, including theater performances, concerts, talks, seminars, shows, congresses, graduation ceremonies, and cultural exhibitions. This variety differs from the historical photographs at the Memorial and the collection items at the museum: here the focus is on events and performances, while those places focus on city history and antiques.

Regional foods and events

For culinary discoveries, Feira do Campo, also known as Feira do Produtor, offers products from family farms. Items for sale include fruit, vegetables, baked goods, colonial cheeses, salami, and handcrafted drinks. Cantina Gury serves traditional Italian lunches, prepared right on a wood-fired oven. Cheese, wine, salami, and colonial products are available by appointment. At Praça da Amizade, also known as Praça do Pedágio, you can find snacks, portions, and draft beer. The selection therefore ranges from groceries to prepared meals and snacks.

The event scene includes a range of formats. Parque de Exposições de Dois Vizinhos hosts livestock exhibitions and auctions, commercial, industrial, and agricultural fairs, exhibitions of historic cars, religious gatherings, themed festivals, and music events. Expovizinhos takes place every two years at the city’s exhibition park and draws numerous visitors with Brazilian music concerts. Trezena e Quermesse de Santo Antônio, in turn, takes place every year at Igreja Matriz of Paróquia Santo Antônio de Pádua. It includes 13 nights of Eucharistic celebrations and a closing celebration on June 13. If a festival is the reason for your trip, this information can help you plan your stay around the event format.

Getting there and choosing where to stay

Dois Vizinhos is accessible via PR-281. Plan visits by appointment, such as to Museu de Antiguidades do Toninho and for the sale of colonial products at Cantina Gury, accordingly.
