An electronic music festival in Morretes runs this Friday and Saturday. It is called LENDAA Chapter V, and it takes place in the Atlantic forest rather than a club.
What is on
LENDAA Chapter V is an electronic music festival in Morretes, in the southern state of Paraná. The town sits in the Serra do Mar, the coastal mountain range.
It runs on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 August. Some listings show 21 to 23 August, but this is a two-day event.
The site is the Santuário Nhundiaquara, on the Estrada das Prainhas at kilometre 2 in Porto de Cima.
That means riverside Atlantic forest rather than a warehouse. The setting is the main draw.
Who is playing
Sébastien Léger and D-Nox are the international names. Both play the melodic, progressive end of house music.
The line-up also includes Dor Danino, Carmelos, Dora Furlan, Felipe Poeta, JACKSON, PA & Thibes, Riche, Unfazed and Yumi Project.
Set times have not been announced. Check the festival’s own channels before you travel.

What it costs
Tickets start at 290 reais, about US$56 at the official rate of 5.2043 reais to the dollar on 18 August.
Higher tiers and any price at the gate have not been announced.
For two days with two international headliners, that entry price is low by São Paulo or Rio standards.
Buy in advance. Events at remote sites in Brazil often sell nothing at the gate.
What the setting actually means
The Santuário Nhundiaquara sits in the Serra do Mar, which holds Brazil’s largest surviving stretch of Atlantic forest.
That forest is now a fraction of its original size, and Paraná has some of the best-preserved parts of it.
So take your rubbish home with you. Leave the site as you found it.
Nights in the mountains are cooler and wetter than on the coast a few kilometres away. Bring a layer and something waterproof.
The Wellness Day
The programme includes a Wellness Day on the morning of Saturday 22 August.
The format is common at forest festivals in Brazil. It usually means yoga, breathwork and sound sessions before the music restarts.
If you are staying overnight, it is a good reason to get up early.
Where to sleep
Morretes has pousadas, small family-run guesthouses, in the town and along the river. They are tiny.
A festival weekend will fill most of that capacity, so book a room before you buy a ticket.
Antonina, twenty minutes away on the bay, is the usual overflow option.
Curitiba is a ninety-minute drive. That is a long way at four in the morning on a mountain road.
Getting to Morretes
Morretes sits about 70 kilometres east of Curitiba, on the road down to the coast.
The famous approach is the Serra Verde Express, the mountain railway from Curitiba. It is one of Brazil’s great train rides.
By car, take the BR-277 highway and then the Estrada da Graciosa, the old mountain road. The Graciosa is beautiful, narrow and slow after dark.
What Morretes is the rest of the time
Morretes is a colonial town on the Nhundiaquara river. It is best known for barreado, a slow-cooked beef dish served with banana and farofa, toasted cassava flour.
It is the standard day trip from Curitiba, usually done by train down and bus back.
An electronic music festival in Morretes is a genuine oddity, and that contrast is the appeal.
If you go, eat barreado in town before heading to the site.
