Santa Helena

Santa Helena has served as an agricultural centre in western Paraná since the second half of the 20th century. The city stands beside Lake Itaipu, the vast reservoir created when the Paraná River was impounded for the Itaipu hydroelectric project in the 1980s. Its shoreline has become an important part of local life, with Balneário Terra das Águas providing a public leisure area by the water. Farmland, lake traffic and the Brazilian–Paraguayan borderland give Santa Helena a distinct place in Paraná’s west. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of western Paraná.
