Cycling day trip from Almirante Tamandaré to Curitiba

This ride starts in Almirante Tamandaré, a small city just northwest of Curitiba known for its relaxed vibe and green spaces, and heads towards the bustling heart of Curitiba, Paraná’s capital. The route covers around 21 km, giving you a mix of tranquil country stretches and increasingly urban sights as you approach the city.

Along the way, you’ll tackle some rolling hills—expect just under 300 meters of climbing, but you'll also enjoy some gentle descents. About two-thirds of the journey follows smooth pavement and asphalt, though you’ll want to be ready for stretches of gravel—nothing too gnarly, but worth a decent set of tires.

Most of the ride takes place on quiet roads and dedicated cycleways, making for a relaxed outing. Only a short segment uses busier streets, so you get the best of both worlds: open scenery to start, and Curitiba’s lively culture to finish. Arriving in Curitiba, you’ll find bike-friendly parks and cafés—perfect for a post-ride rest!
