Although a lot of people back home might not know much about it, Curitiba is quite a large and significant city in Brazil. The city has about 1.8 million people, 3.2 million in the metro area and is the state capital of Paraná, one of the 26 Brazilian states.
Curitiba is also an especially environmentally friendly city. They have an incredibly efficient bus system, a model that has been replicated around the world, a very comprehensive urban recycling and composting system, and a lot of preserved green space in the city.
The first few days I spent seeing a bunch of the neat touristy things in the city with my host brother, Bruno, and it was amazing!! Bruno is so great to take all this time to show me this amazing city, I had such a great time! Some of the neat places are below-
