Almirante Tamandaré combines natural attractions, historic sites and an annual event. At Parque Ambiental Aníbal Khury, ecological trails, views of a lake and a waterfall take center stage; the Circuito da Natureza offers a distinct focus, with around 23 kilometers of trails, campsites and horse-related activities. Its cultural history includes a building inaugurated in 1916 and a protected Oratório. You can tailor your stay to nature, cultural heritage or a festival date.

Nature between the park and the Circuito

Parque Ambiental Aníbal Khury is located within the urban area of Almirante Tamandaré and has ecological trails. The park also has decks and a viewpoint from which you can look out over the lake. A waterfall is another of its attractions. This means that several natural features can be enjoyed within the same park: trails to explore and spots where you can view the lake. The waterfall adds another specific feature to this natural setting.

The Circuito da Natureza is a route approximately 23 kilometers long for visitors. It includes campsites, horseback riding and other horse-related activities. The difference between the two nature offerings lies in their format: the park brings together ecological trails, lake views and a waterfall, while the Circuito features its approximate route length, camping and horse-related activities. This lets you decide whether to plan around specific features of the park or the route, which is around 23 kilometers long.

Buildings and remembrance

The Antiga Prefeitura de Almirante Tamandaré is a notable landmark in the municipality’s history. Inaugurated in 1916, it is one of the oldest buildings in the municipality’s central area. After being restored by the municipality, it became home to the Casa de Cultura Municipal. A historic date and a present-day municipal cultural function thus come together in one building: the Antiga Prefeitura has both an architectural history and a current cultural use.

The Oratório de São Carlos Borromeo is located in Colônia Santa Gabriela, in Almirante Tamandaré, and has been protected as a heritage site in the state of Paraná since March 13, 1979. It is an important reference point for religious heritage and the memory of the region’s immigrants. It also preserves the religious, agricultural and community history of the former colony. This offers a different perspective from the Antiga Prefeitura: at the Oratório, memories of the colony and its immigrants are connected with religious heritage; at the cultural center, the focus is on the present-day municipal use of a historic building.

Festa Municipal do Morango

An annual event is the Festa Municipal do Morango de Almirante Tamandaré, which is part of the celebrations for Municipal Day on October 28. The festival promotes local culture through a food and arts program. The exact details may vary from one edition to the next, so do not assume the schedule will remain the same. If you want to plan your trip around the Festa do Morango, check the dates and program in advance. You can thus make the event a focus of your trip alongside nature and cultural heritage.
