    MORE INFO

    Curitiba is a practical Brazilian base for remote workers who want urban services without the overwhelming scale of São Paulo or the beach-driven chaos of Rio. It has strong public transport by Brazilian standards, good private healthcare, a cooler climate, and a reputation for urban planning. It is not the country’s most exciting city, but it is one of the easier ones to live in.
