On top of Curitiba

The Torre Panorámico is the famous radio tower of Curitiba: it is as well a radio tower, providing Paraná with frequencies, as a symbol for Curitiba (because visible from every where!). It is an easy landmark in the mental mapping of the city - you just see it from almost everywhere...

This tower is thus also a touristic attraction where for instance the Linha Turismo stops (green tourist busses, hop-on-hop-off) - and the 3 reais are cheap for the great ascension it is! What a view... see for yourself!

The core of the tower is engraved with themes from the city, Rua XV, fishermen, the circus... There is even an elephant, and of course the araucaria tree - the symbol of the State of Paraná


As the evening was pulling its veil over the city, not knowing completely if it was darkness or rain clouds - the light just offered an amazing atmosphere to the townscape!


Me and Curitiba - I do love this city in all its beautiful, ugly and ackward ways
