Frequently asked questions
Can you get us inside the terminals?
We arrange the deepest access each terminal and operator will grant, which varies by security and availability. Where interior access is restricted, we position you at working vantage points and put you directly in front of the people who run the operation.
Will we meet actual operators, or just tour?
Meeting people is the point. We schedule introductions with terminal operators, freight forwarders and customs brokers relevant to your cargo, subject to their availability during your dates.
Do I need a company in Brazil before the tour?
No. Many clients tour before deciding to enter. If you choose to proceed, we hand you straight to our company formation and legal representative (procurador) services, working alongside licensed Brazilian attorneys (OAB).
Can the tour cover property as well as the port?
Yes. We include warehousing, cold-storage and industrial land visits in the corridor. Foreigners can own urban commercial and industrial property; any brokerage runs through a CRECI-licensed broker.
Where does the tour start and what about logistics?
We typically begin in Curitiba, around 90 minutes from Paranaguá, and coordinate ground transport, timing and meetings for the full day so you focus on the business, not the driving.
