Umuarama

Umuarama spreads across the gently rolling plateau of northwestern Paraná, Brazil, a setting that helped turn a planned settlement into a regional centre for agriculture, commerce and services. Founded in 1955 by Companhia Melhoramentos Norte do Paraná, it grew during the organised colonisation of the state’s interior. Its Tupi-derived name is generally understood as “a place for friends to meet”, an idea echoed in its local nickname, Capital da Amizade. Lago Aratimbó, an urban lake and leisure area near the centre, provides a calmer counterpoint to the city’s commercial life.
