Cascavel: Art, Parks and Culture

In Cascavel, discoveries range from collections of Brazilian feather art and Paraguayan ceramics to a lake, walking paths and a waterfall. Families can also find a variety of interests: art and culture are just as much an option as outdoor activities. When planning a trip, you can start by asking which of these interests you would like to shape your stay.

Art and Culture in Cascavel

The Museu de Arte de Cascavel showcases collections of Indigenous Brazilian feather art and Paraguayan folk ceramics. The different materials and cultural references make a museum visit an opportunity to discover various artistic traditions. There is also a space for temporary contemporary art exhibitions throughout the year. Alongside the collections, these rotating exhibitions offer a distinct cultural highlight.

Another cultural venue is the Centro Cultural Gilberto Mayer. Founded in 1980, it is the oldest public multicultural space in the municipality of Cascavel. If you are interested in the town’s cultural institutions, you can take this history into account when planning your trip. Together with the art museum, the Centro Cultural offers a second perspective on Cascavel’s cultural life: a public multicultural space with a long history on the one hand, and collections and an exhibition space on the other.

Lake, Forest and Trails

The Lago Municipal, covering 38 hectares, is located in Parque Ecológico Paulo Gorski. A walking path runs along its shore, with most of the route passing through native forest. The lake, shoreline path and forest together shape the natural experience here. If you enjoy exploring on foot, this is a specific reason to discover Cascavel not only through its cultural venues, but also through its green spaces.

Parque Ecológico Paulo Gorski also has a cycle path. The walking path by Lago Municipal and the cycle path are both in the same park, but offer different ways to spend time outdoors. This distinction can help when planning your day and deciding whether a lakeside walk or a bike ride better suits your interests.

Another park offers something different: Parque Ambiental – Centro de Educação Ambiental Suely Marcondes de Moura Festugatto has an Ecomuseu for environmental education activities, several trails with play equipment, and a waterfall. This brings environmental education, trails and play opportunities together in one park. Families can consider whether to focus their outing on environmental education, getting active on the trails or the play equipment. The waterfall adds another natural feature to the range of attractions.

Local Products and Travel Interests

Feira do Teatro is another of Cascavel’s distinctive cultural and culinary attractions. It opened on February 28, 2018, in the parking lot of Teatro Municipal Sefrin Filho in Cascavel. Its offerings include handmade, ecological, gastronomic, artistic and cultural products. This broad mix caters to different interests, from art and crafts to food and ecological products. If you are considering local products and culture as part of your trip, this gives you another point of reference when choosing your own itinerary.

When choosing a holiday apartment or house in Cascavel, you can first decide what you would like to focus on: art collections and cultural venues, walks and nature, or an outing combining environmental education and play opportunities. The experiences described here can guide your search without limiting you to just one way of exploring.
