Sertaneja
Sertaneja is best known in Paraná for its setting on the Capivara Reservoir, an impoundment of the Paranapanema River along the border with São Paulo state. The town occupies the reservoir’s southern shore in northern Paraná, where broad open water has transformed the river into a long inland waterfront. Its surroundings are shaped by agricultural land, while the shore is used for leisure and waterside homes. Sertaneja’s compact urban area and local airfield lie close to the reservoir, giving the municipality an open, low-lying character. The Paranapanema is a major river of southern Brazil, flowing westward to join the Paraná River and forming an important part of the boundary between Paraná and São Paulo.

Sertaneja extends to the Paranapanema River on Paraná’s border with São Paulo, and this frontier setting has linked the municipality to the river valley and the agricultural interior of southern Brazil. The river is impounded here by the Capivara Reservoir, a broad body of water shared by communities in both states and a defining feature of the local geography. Sertaneja’s name uses the feminine form of sertanejo, a Portuguese term associated with Brazil’s inland backlands and rural culture. Farmland and reservoir margins shape the wider area.

Its immense territory extends from the Amazon River basin in the north to the Atlantic coast, with the Pantanal wetlands and Brazilian Highlands creating very different regions inland. Rio de Janeiro sits beside Guanabara Bay beneath Sugarloaf Mountain, while Brasília is known for its planned layout and modernist buildings by Oscar Niemeyer. Portuguese is the official language, and football, regional cuisines and Carnival celebrations are central to public life across the country.
