Important information

Know before you go

  • Food, drinks, medicines, jewelry, backpacks, bags and suitcases must be kept in our lockers.
  • The Conservas Pinhais Factory Tour includes a visit to the factory, in the various stages of production. The activity that visitors will attend will be the activity planned by the production team for that day. For this reason and considering the sardine catch limit, Pinhais cannot guarantee that visitors will see the fish being handled.
