The historic Graciosa Road (PR-410) crosses the most preserved stretch of the Atlantic Forest of Brazil and is widely used by people who enjoy the leisure facilities located in six spots distributed along its path.
In the mountains above Morretes, this old mule route winds through a rainforest and crosses moss-covered bridges. Cobblestones pave parts of its length, it's slippery and dangerous at the sharp turns, and hydrangea plants push in to line the lush lane with blue flowers and wonderful landscapes.
You can hum the famous anthem 'Brasil' while passing this route. You can still see mules carrying cargoes of local produce winding through a rainforest and crosses moss-covered bridges. The flora and fauna of the land are still the attraction in the area.
The construction of the road started between 1625 and 1654, and was was used by indians and miners. Its challenging construction was finished around 1873.
