Golden and blue hour in Curitiba: all twelve months
Everything derives from the coordinates of Curitiba (-25.4284, -49.2733) and the America/Sao_Paulo timezone — no estimates. The planning-relevant part: the evening window here swings between 30 minutes in March and 34 in June — schedule "an hour" and you are wrong in both.

Fitting the window into the shoot day
The evening window is the reliable half: the crew is warmed up, the setup exists, and golden hour is the last slot before wrap. The morning window right after sunrise (until 07:36 in June) instead requires camera and lighting to be standing before sunrise — with a call well before 07:02.
After sunset, Curitiba still offers the blue hour: from 17:51 to 18:00 in June (10 minutes). If you need both looks on one evening, everything from the start of golden hour to the end of blue hour is one continuous window — with no room for a re-rig inside it.

To about one minute (standard NOAA-style solar computation). Not included: horizon shading from buildings or hills to the west — which can genuinely shorten the window at your location.
