Capitão Leonidas Marques
Skip unless you have a specific reason to visit a quiet rural town: half a day is enough to see the centre, but most travellers should stay in Cascavel or Foz do Iguaçu.
Capitão Leonidas Marques (CLM) is a small agricultural town in western Paraná, about 50 km from Cascavel. It offers a tranquil rural landscape of rolling hills and tobacco plantations, but has few tourist attractions. Most visitors pass through on a day trip from Cascavel or skip it entirely.

- 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.
