Paranaguá - PR - Brasil

Paranaguá means "big round sea" in the Tupi-Guarani language, a reference to the wide bay that affords the city optimal conditions to function as an important port. The village was originally founded somewhere around 1550 on the island of Cotinga, and later expanded onto the mainland.

It is Paraná's oldest city.
