Hotel Warabi

Inviting features abound at this rustic hotel just above Maringá: comfy futons, ofuro (Japanese bath) tubs and a spacious wooden deck overlooking the swimming pool, sauna and riverside lawn. Guests also appreciate the boats for floating downstream to a local swimming hole and the stellar Japanese-Brazilian breakfasts, ranging from pão de queijo (balls of cheese-stuffed tapioca bread) and tropical fruit to grilled fish and delicious homemade sushi.
