Grao-Para

The Rio Braço do Norte defines the setting of Grão-Pará — descending from the Serra Geral, it runs through a small urban centre surrounded by steep slopes and rural districts in southern Santa Catarina. Agriculture remains central to local life, while the mountains quickly take over beyond the built-up streets. Parque Estadual da Serra Furada, shared by Grão-Pará and neighbouring Orleans, protects Atlantic Forest on the Serra Geral escarpment. Grão-Pará became an independent municipality in 1958 after separating from Orleans. See how Grão-Pará connects with southern Santa Catarina by browsing webcams nearby.
