Grab your luggage, exit arrivals at Guarapuava Airport (GPB-T. Thomas de Faria), and collect your rental car. Which one you slide into depends on where you want to go. If you’ll be spending a good deal of time driving in downtown Guarapuava, around 2 miles from the terminal, go for something small and zippy. A compact car with good handling will suit those busy city streets. But with a wealth of things to see, like the picturesque mangroves of the surrounding area, you’ll probably be racking up those miles. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make longer road trips a joy.
