We like it very much - The tour is good, quite interesting, but what bothered me was that they never stopped trying to sell things inside the wagon during the tour. I went there for a walk, if I wanted to buy something, I'd go shopping.

Really beautiful scenario and interesting stories to learn - You need to be a little patient, because it's a slow ride train. But to me, it was very worth it, as you can listen to the stories from the guides, appreciate the view during those hours between Curitiba (3,000 feet) and Antonina by the ocean level and have fun going on a picturesque ride. To my teenage soon, the ride could be faster, but still he enjoyed the scenes and the food in Morretes city.

Surprising train ride! - The route is beautiful! And no, don't stop going because it's raining or cloudy. The landscapes are beautiful and it doesn’t even seem that we are in Brazil. The landscapes are beautiful also with sun and open day, but with rain, the landscapes become bucolic and amazing. I traveled on the train for pets (BOVE) and loved. Their boarding service only leaves to be desired in the amount of coffee we can have (explained by the friendly train guides). In addition, everything is released real, without restrictions: soda, juice and beer. The meal kit could also improve more, but everything was very good. I highly recommend going, whether alone or with family. The restaurants we went to eat barriado (including lunch) are reasonably good ... but do not expect much from the place since it is a very small town (Morretes). It's worth passing through the banana candy shop.

It's beautiful - Viagem demorada, 4h. Several stops, they inform that it is because of other loaded trains that pass... I was in tour class. Open window. Warm. The snack was water or soda and a box containing a cake of water and salt, a cookie and a pack of Japanese peanuts. Beautiful landscapes. Beautiful pictures. If you can sit on the left, it's better.

Good view and lots of restaurants - It’s a slow train ride from Curitiba to Morretes. If you have been in train in another country this would feel average to you. Train ride is fine, it has some nice hills towards the end of the journey. It’s not exciting as the hype. Morretes has restaurants majorly and few waterfalls. Onward journey is okay and you need to ensure you book the return journey via bus in advance or book a tour which includes. Taxis are not easily available to come back to Curitiba and they charge double.

Impossible to relax - I created a lot of expectations on this tour, it was something I wanted to do for years. I took a walk on a beautiful sunny Sunday. I wanted to contemplate the landscape, breathe nature and meditate. However, the Guide (kelly) did not stop talking for 1 second, not only that, it is people the time td talking, selling things inside the train (employees). This ended with the charm of the tour, which cost me R$ 350 real! I don't indicate, unless you like so much talk. The landscape is indeed divine and I would love to enjoy it in silence.

Easy to do on your own - The train ride is wonderful, but it is just as easy to go to the train station and buy tickets then get a taxi/Uber back home versus bothering with the hassle of the tour. Pick up was chaotic and late. The tour guide could barely speak English despite the extra charge for an English speaking tour. We intentionally purchased this to understand the history of the sights, and we left knowing no more than when we started. The other aspects of the tour after the train were a joke and lunch was very average.
