The adventurous cat can climb up Vila Velha paws, but don't expect any purrfect views on a cloudy day.

Mindful meoweler tips

Ponta Grossa's historic center

Full of charming colonial buildings and cobblestone streets, this area is a must-visit for any cat interested in the city's history. Don't forget to take a nap in one of the many public squares!

Vila Velha State Park

This park has incredible rock formations that will make any cat's paws tingle! The trek is worth it when you reach the top of the cliffs and see the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

Barreado dish

A traditional dish made from beef, cassava flour, and spices that has been slow-cooked for over 24 hours. A true delicacy for any cat foodie!

Festa do Congado

This religious festival, held in December, is a colorful and lively celebration of Afro-Brazilian culture. The streets are filled with music, dancing, and traditional costumes. Don't be afraid to join in the fun!

Transportation

Cats can easily move around Ponta Grossa by using the city buses or by hailing a taxi. Just remember to stay safe and always ask the driver for a sit, not a seat!
