Things To Do
in Moreira Sales

A classic plate of white rice, beans and a portion of stewed or grilled meat — a staple available at most local restaurants and homes.

Must-Try!

Grilled meats prepared in the gaucho tradition; look for small family churrascarias or weekend barbecues where cuts are seasoned simply and cooked over wood or charcoal.

Sweet or savory corn-based preparations often found at markets or festas juninas (June festivals); made from fresh corn and commonly sold by local vendors.

Greet people with a handshake, light cheek kiss among friends or a friendly ‘bom dia/boa tarde’ (good morning/afternoon). Politeness and friendliness go a long way.

Dress casually and modestly — locals value neat, respectful presentation. Be polite in conversation, avoid discussing sensitive politics aggressively, and accept invitations to share food graciously.

If invited to someone’s home or farm, remove shoes if asked, bring a small gift (sweets or coffee) and compliment the food and hospitality.

A gentle riverside trail offering walks, birdwatching and shaded stretches; ideal for morning hikes and photography of riparian habitats.

Informal routes across farmland and between properties provide easy-to-moderate hikes showcasing fields, fences and rural life — best done with a local guide or host's permission.

Scattered small waterfalls and streams in the municipality and nearby areas are accessible by short hikes; water flow is seasonal, so check conditions before visiting.

The nearest major regional airport serving Maringá with domestic flights; reachable by car or regional bus and commonly used when accessing northern Paraná towns.

Another regional airport offering domestic connections; useful depending on flight availability and ground travel plans.

The main international gateway for Paraná with many flight options; further by road but practical for international arrivals or wider domestic connections.

The majority of residents are involved in agriculture or related trades; family-run farms and multi-generational households are common.

Many residents have Portuguese, Italian and other European ancestry, reflected in local customs and cuisine, alongside Brazilian cultural influences.

Smaller but present communities that contribute to the cultural fabric of the region.

Vegetarian options are available but limited; stick to rice, beans, salads, egg dishes and cheese-based items. Inform hosts or servers that you are vegetarian (sou vegetariano/vegetariana) to avoid meat broths or hidden animal fats.

Vegan dining is more challenging in a rural town; bring snacks, use markets for fresh fruit and vegetables, and explain strict dietary needs clearly (sou vegano/vegana).

Gluten-free options are not widely labeled; avoid breads and pastries unless prepared specifically for you, and ask about ingredients (contém glúten?).
