Barigui Park
Parque Barigui
Curitiba's most popular large lakeside park, where capybaras wander casually along the lakeside trail.
Barigui Park covers about 1.4 million square metres and is built around the lake formed by the Barigui River. It is the first choice for locals who jog, cycle and picnic on weekends. Its biggest draw is the capybaras that graze on the lakeside grass in groups. Visitors can observe them up close (please do not feed them and keep your distance). The park also has an automobile museum, a convention center and several restaurants. Admission is free, and weekend afternoons are the busiest. It is ideal for a stop while touring the western part of the city or on the way to the Santa Felicidade Italian district.
