Colonia Cooperativa Witmarsum — how to get there
You can take a bus at the Curitiba Bus Depot close to the Mercado Municipal; buy a ticket to Campo Largo; there you take another bus to Witmarsum and get off at the intersection at the #3 Road, and walk for about 1 mile along the gravel road, until you come to a 'Y' fork, turn left, and walk for another half a mile — it is the second property on the left. If you are not sure, ask the farmers, everybody knows were I am.
From Campo Large there is a direct (direto) bus at rush hour, the other one goes into all the little settlements and villages and can take hours, a free scenic tour, but not recommended if you are in a hurry...
If you are driving, starting from the capital CURITIBA, take the BR 376 highway, traveling West towards Ponta Grossa.
When coming to the top of the serra, you will go through a small tunnel, before you get to the Pedágio — the toll booth (don't forget to take some cash, as there is no exchange or credit card facility there).
Then continue on the BR 376 highway, and take the road going to the right at the 'Y' intersection right after you leave the toll booth.
After about 10 km there will be two left turnoffs to the colony, about two km apart. Take the second one. Now on the colony road, take the road branching off to the left when coming to a division of the road.
Soon you will be traveling down hill to a small bridge over a creek, from there it is just about another 4 km to the business and cultural center of Witmarsum.
