Guaraqueçaba is a very small city incrusted in the last reminiscent Tropical
Atlantic Forest and, because this, it has some interesting sui generis
characteristics. Because its very large environment protection area (the
APA of Guaraqueçaba), the access to the city is very restrictive: you
can only arrive there by boat (caressly called "voadeira" – flyer – by
local people) living from Paranaguá City, or by about 80km of
unpavemented road living from an access in Antonina City. The
combination of this characteristic with the tropical weather generates
an immediate consequence: when it rains, what is not infrequent, the
place turns like an island: nobody enters, nobody goes out. That's
because the "voadeira" can't navigate because the strong wind and the
road becomes transmittable.
