I had a couple of days to do some touring between the building portion of my trip and the facilitator training. During one of those days I went with a couple new friends on a tour of Curitiba. We started out early on the city bus to the historical center of Curitiba where we caught a double decker tour bus that took us to 25 scenic places. We were able to get off the bus at 4 locations to take a closer look around.

| We stopped first at the Jardim Botanico, a classy greenhouse with exotic plants and beautiful gardens. |

| Taking a little workout break along the way. Curitiba has lots of places to just stop and exercise. |
 |
| Our second stop was at the Bosque Alemao where we hiked a fun brick path through the 'jungle' that led to this structure. I couldn't resist climbing up here for a picture :) |

| The third stop at Parque Tangua was my favorite! Here we got to climb up in the viewing towers above the waterfall and then take a nice hike down the hill, through a tunnel, and around the lake. It was so peaceful and I really enjoyed the nice weather! |

Our last stop was the Torre Panoramica which is a 360 foot high telephone tower that is open for sightseeing. Up at the top there is a 360 degree view of Curitiba. It was so cool to see all around the city!
This was a really fun day to tour around the city and I think I got a pretty good deal because the total cost of the day was about $15. This included the city bus fare, tour bus fare, and a snack! I like that!
