I took the famous train ride from Curitiba toward Paranagua on Osatur/Serra Verde Express. Our group disembarked at Morretes, where we boarded on some vans. The first stop (before going to Antonina and back to Morretes for our "barreado" lunch), was a metal plating/sculpture shop in Morretes. While I'm sure this is a fine art passed down from generation to generation of Italian immigrants to the area, I felt like we were completely and physically "steered" to this shop where we were encouraged to buy sculptures (some were nice) and tacky plaques/trophies. I didn't buy anything; somehow I wish we were given the chance to see the many other wonderful artisans and their shops throughout the town....

Buy some sculptures/statues if you must, because the "artists" do work hard for their craft. But keep in mind there are other local artisans and craftspeople in town who would also appreciate your patronage....

Maybe leave a tip for the artisan at work?....
