CLM for short, is a city of 15,000 located about 50 kilometers from Cascavel - the major city in the Westernmost area of Paraná along with Foz do Iguaçu. CLM is said to be very tranquil and has a small town feel. Most of its people still live in the beautiful rural area made of green rolling hills, tobacco plantations, fruit trees and small family businesses.
