The fantastic rocks of Vila Velha

25 kms from the big town of Ponta Grossa there is very interesting State Park famous for its sandstone rock formations. It is in the middle pf nowhere so I was forced to use uber to get to the park gate. It costme 35 reais. The entry ticket costs another 112 reais but seniors have a 50 percent discount. Once you have your wrist tape you can leave your small backpack in the locker for free and the frequent park bas will take you about 1 km uphill to the trailhead of the sandstone range. Great views are waiting there! The most popular rock formation they call The Vup – see the picture… Hot, hot, hot…
Once the safari bus will bring you back to the park info center you can jump for another bus which will take you to the two holes in the ground (like canopy) but it is not as interesting as the sandstones. Allow 4 hours to see both loops. I wad lucky to find the lift to Ponta and then the bus to Curitiba. Lovely, interesting day?
