Introduction

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

Throughout the year, the children take part in various artistic activities such as singing and musical instrument lessons. This rigorous preparation results in the biggest Christmas event in Curitiba!

In addition to the special Christmas decorations, one of the most popular attractions is the ride on the Serra do Mar Paranaense Train. The train travels 110 kilometers through the largest preserved area of Atlantic Forest in Brazil and Trem da Serra do Mar Paranaensealong a railroad with 125 years of history. This forest is considered one of the five richest biomes in the world.

It is often cited by Brazilian and foreign experts as one of the most beautiful stretches of railway in the world! It's a contemplative ride and the guide on board explains all the history of the construction and curiosities. The Serra do Mar Paranaense Train departs daily from Curitiba to 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 withdrawal occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the date of departure of the trip: 10% (ten percent)
  • When the withdrawal occurs between 29 (twenty-nine) and 21 (twenty-one) days before the date of departure: 15% (fifteen percent)
  • When the withdrawal occurs between 20 (twenty) and 01 (one) days before the date of departure: 30% (thirty percent)
  • If the passenger does not show up at the time and place scheduled for the start of the trip, 35% (thirty-five percent) will be charged.

In addition to the fees and fines described above, the amounts already paid to suppliers to guarantee reservations, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contractor is only an intermediary in the contracting of tourist services, being 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 transportation, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.

For both road and air tours, it is not permitted to transfer dates or refund unused sections.

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.
