The Museu do Tropeiro is situated in Castro, a city nestled in the interior of the state of Paraná. This location provides a unique cultural experience for tourists, as it is away from the bustling city life and offers a glimpse into the history and lifestyle of the region.

History of the Tropeiro

The Museu do Tropeiro is dedicated to portraying the history of the tropeiro, or drover, who traversed the Campos Gerais region in the 18th century. Visitors can learn about the significant role these drovers played in the development of the region and the challenges they faced during their journeys.

Historical Significance of the Museum Building

The Museu do Tropeiro is housed in one of the first houses of Castro, which belonged to the Carneiro Lobo family. This adds an extra layer of historical significance to the museum, as visitors can appreciate the architecture and style of the period.

Collection of the Museu do Tropeiro

The Museu do Tropeiro boasts a collection of two thousand five hundred pieces. These range from typical clothing and trappings of the tropeiro, to the cangalha (a type of saddle used by the drovers) and work tools used by these pioneers. The collection provides a comprehensive insight into the lives of the drovers who explored the interior of Brazil and founded numerous cities, including Castro itself.
