May 1st Ecological Hiking Tour and Train Ride from Curitiba Hakuna Matata

Serra Verde Express, the company in charge of the Curitiba-Paranaguá Railway, promotes the 4th Ecological Hiking Tour in the Coastal Range, or Serra do Mar, in Paraná on May 1, 2008. May 1 is a holiday (Labor Day) in Brazil.

The package includes:

  • Train ride in tourist class from Curitiba to the Engenheiro Lange Station
  • Hiking with a guide from the Engenheiro Lange Station to the metallic bridge in Morretes, the main town along the railway
  • Lunch (dessert and drinks not included) at Hakuna Matata Inn (which, like the famous Elton John/Tim Rice song in The Lion King, is named for a Swahili expression loosely meaning "no worries" or "no problem")
  • Return by bus to Curitiba; arrival at 5pm.

Price: 150 reais (about $90)
