Curitiba is the capital city of the Brazilian state of Paraná (shown in yellow on this map), which sits on a plateau at over 3,000ft above sea level. Such altitude is responsible for cold temperatures untypical in the rest of Brazil. The weather is rainy and very variable even within the same day and the flatness of the terrain hinders quick water drainage after rain. With a population of over 2.4 million people (2014) it is home to many city favelas. |
