Introduction

Coral das Janelas - Palácio AvenidaThe Coral das Janelas Show: The Christmas Coral of Curitiba is a tradition that has been enchanting tourists and locals for years! On show days, the corner of Palácio Avenida fills with people of all colours and ages. Under the command of Santa Claus, the lights come on, children appear in the windows, and the Christmas choir's music creates an unparalleled energy. The show takes place outside. The brilliance, in its essence, comes from within. The Christmas choir of Palácio Avenida is made up of 130 children aged between 7 and 16 who live in care institutions known as Casa Lar.

Throughout the year, the children participate in various artistic activities such as singing and musical instrument classes. A rigorous preparation that results in the largest Christmas event in Curitiba!

In addition to the special Christmas decoration, one of the most desired attractions is the ride on the Trem da Serra do Mar Paranaense. It is 110 kilometres travelling through the largest preserved area of Atlantic Forest in Brazil and Trem da Serra do Mar Paranaensealong a railway with 125 years of history. This forest is considered one of the five richest biomes in the world.

It is frequently cited by Brazilian and foreign experts as one of the most beautiful railway stretches in the world! It is a contemplative ride, and the guide on board explains the entire history of the construction and curiosities. The Trem da Serra do Mar Paranaense departs daily from Curitiba towards the city of Morretes. The journey takes approximately 3 hours.

Important Notes

The information below covers part of what is set out in our General Conditions. It is essential to read the entire document.

Withdrawals, Transfers and Cancellations by the client

The CONTRACTED PARTY shall refund the amount due to the Client, calculated on the total amount actually received by the Contractor, excluding the amount of commission withheld, which must be dealt with by the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.

in the event of any of the above occurring, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tour package, in the following proportion:

  • When the cancellation occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the date of departure of the trip: 10% (ten per cent)
  • When the cancellation occurs between 29 (twenty-nine) and 21 (twenty-one) days before the date of departure: 15% (fifteen per cent)
  • When the cancellation occurs between 20 (twenty) and 01 (one) days before the date of departure: 30% (thirty per cent)
  • If the passenger does not show up at the time and place scheduled for the start of the trip, 35% (thirty-five per cent) will be charged.

In addition to the fees and fines described above, the amounts already paid to suppliers to guarantee bookings, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contractor is only an intermediary in the contracting of tourist services, and is in temporary possession of the amounts received, because it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, sea and road transport, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.

For both road and air excursions, date transfers or refunds for unused sections will not be permitted.

Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has begun, passengers who abandon it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for services paid for and not used.
