2 February 2022  The municipality of Engenheiro Beltrão (14,314 inhabitants in 2017; 46,726 
ha) is located 450 km north-west of Curitiba.
Engenheiro Beltrão was 
established in the 1930s by Sociedade Técnica e Colonizadora Engenheiro Beltrão, 
led by Engineer Francisco Gutierrez Beltrão. The name of the town was adopted in 
1949.
In 2000, the municipality adopted pururuca piglet as the town's 
official typical dish. The Pururuca Piglet Festival celebrates every year the 
town's political emancipation. Prepared since 2001 by the same team of cooks, 
pururuca piglet has to be marinated for 10 hours and then cooked on embers for 
another 6 hours.
