Londrina

  • South America ↗Above 2,500 m (Bogotá, Quito, Cusco, La Paz) keep the first day light; sleep lower where you can (Sacred Valley before Cusco) and descend if headache comes with vomiting or confusion.
  • South America ↗A yellow fever certificate is required on arrival in French Guiana, and asked for on some routes into Bolivia, Paraguay, Suriname and Guyana, or when arriving from Amazon areas — vaccinate at least 10 days before travel and carry the card.
  • South America ↗Overnight buses are the norm in Argentina, Chile and Peru, but pick top-tier companies and keep valuables on your body; on-board thefts from overhead racks are the common loss.
  • Brazil ↗US, Canadian and Australian citizens need an e-visa (about US$81 — check) applied for online at the official VFS portal before travel; EU and UK citizens do not. Check your passport with Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs before booking.
  • Brazil ↗Yellow fever vaccination is recommended for many areas, including the Amazon and Pantanal; check with a travel clinic at least 10 days before travel.
  • Brazil ↗Keep your phone out of sight in the street and on beaches; phone theft is the most common crime against visitors in big cities.
  • Brazil ↗Carnival 2027 runs about 5–10 February (Tuesday 9 February; Salvador from 4 February): book Rio, Salvador and Recife/Olinda months ahead or avoid those dates.

Londrina is a wealthy coffee-and-agribusiness city of about half a million in northern Paraná, named after London because a British cotton firm funded the settlement in the 1930s. It has a compact downtown, a university, a big mall and good churrasco, but few headline sights. Most travellers use it as a comfortable one-night break on the road or rail-free corridor between São Paulo and Foz do Iguaçu, or as a base for the Maringá area.

Arrive & move

Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in

Getting around

City buses (TCGL) are frequent near the university in office hours and sparse otherwise — waits over an hour happen. Taxis are everywhere and short hops run about R$15–20. Ride-hailing apps work in the centre. A car helps for the outlying parks and the Mata dos Godoy reserve.

Watch out

Safety

Londrina is calmer than Brazil's big coastal cities, but use normal care: keep phones out of sight downtown, take taxis after dark, and avoid walking alone in quiet streets near the bus terminal.
  • Bus frequency drops sharply outside office and university hours; plan around it or take a taxi.
  • Summer afternoon downpours flood streets quickly — carry a light rain jacket Dec–Feb.
  • Downtown is quiet and less well lit at night; use taxis after dark.
  • The Mata dos Godoy reserve is far outside the city and needs arranged transport.
