The Goblet in Vila Velha/Parana state/Brazil The Goblet in Vila Velha/Parana state/Brazil

The Goblet in Vila Velha/Parana state/Brazil 

The Goblet is a key element in an indigenous myth which explains the creation of Vila Velha.

In Vila Velha State Park, in Ponta Grossa, intriguing sandstone formations rise from fields which were at the bottom of an ocean 600 million years ago.

Volcanic eruptions, glaciation, and erosion by wind and rain have created over 20 gigantic shapes in which human imagination sees all kinds of things - a camel, a sphynx, or a goblet - this, the symbol of Vila Velha.
Seen from a distance or from the air, Vila Velha reminds one of a medieval town, standing majestic in Paraná's Campos Gerais.
