Spectacular - must see. - This was an amazing train trip the views were spectacular and the host very friendly and personable. The time flew by. Lunch was excellent. The only problem was we were tired and would have liked to go straight back after lunch rather than stopping at different tourist spots. It would have been nice to have been offered an extra charge for the sumptuous carriage rather than the lovely carriage we had. Thank you.

Scenic, Relaxing, and Exceptionally Well Hosted - This was an outstanding experience from start to finish, and the host deserves special recognition. The scenic train ride itself is beautiful, with incredible views that make the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations. Morretes and Antonina are charming, historic, and well worth the visit, and the pacing of the day was perfect—never rushed, never dull. What truly elevated the experience was the host, who was knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. It felt less like a tour and more like traveling with a local friend who loves sharing their region. If you’re considering this trip, I highly recommend it—especially for solo travelers looking for a relaxed, friendly, and memorable day.

Amazing nature! - Very organised. I was the only English speaking person on the tour, but the guide explained what was going on and translated as necessary. I visited early in the year when there were not too many people on the tour. This was good because the carriage wasn’t full. The views of the beautiful Atlantic forest were stunning, so I was able to take lots of photos, I also enjoyed the lunch and talking with the Brazilian people on the tour. They were so nice to me, it made the day even more special,

Breathtaking landscapes! - The tour is stunning from beginning to end. The exit from the railway station was a bit tumultuous, but boarding the chosen wagon was wonderful. I made the descent by train, and the ascension, that is, the return, of the van. But both forms were captivating and inviting to an accompanied return.

Train ride to Morretes: simply unforgettable! - Always observe the weather forecast, with rain does not pay to take the walk. Ideal is to go to Morretes by train and back from Van, bus... It is a tour that blends nature, history and gastronomy. Ideal for those who want to live something different, relax and enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

Beautiful and well preserved. May be more pleasant for foreigners. - It is always wonderful to join a nature-oriented trip, and this one is not different. But since brazilians are more used to the atlantic forest, the trip may be more impressive to foreigners. The part with panoramic views correspond only to a part of the trip. Antonina is a nice surprise to the voyage.

It's worth it - It’s a well-organized ride through the “primordial forest” of Brazil on a train that travels with fantastically different wagons. Everyone gets their place by place card on a sofa or armchair. It goes slowly through the city of Curitiba, then steadily upwards. On the way, you can wait for freight trains. All in a charm of earlier decades or even centuries. You can see how hard it must have been to build the track. You can see nature taking back abandoned places. Panoramas are included during the ride. Unfortunately, the return trip is on the bus and there is a little too little time for the places. The special dish in Morretes is very good. The staff: very friendly. Information in English is significantly shorter than in Portuguese. Unfortunately, the car is sounded musically. Silence is something many people can't stand. Otherwise you could hear the animals of the forest when the train stops to let freight trains pass.
