We recommend allowing 3 to 4 hours. This includes the 4 main trails (Pau Brasil Tunnel, Rio dos Mangues Trail, etc.) and educational time at the Visitor Center. Total walking distance: approximately 4 km.

It protects the last fragment of Atlantic Forest where the Pau Brasil tree grows, the species that gave the country its name and was heavily exploited during the colonial era. It is home to more than 170 threatened plant species.

From May to September (dry season), with temperatures between 22°C and 28°C and less rain. Avoid December to March because of heavy rainfall. The blooming of the Pau Brasil tree (September to October) is spectacular.

Only partially: the Visitor Center and restrooms are accessible, but the trails have uneven surfaces. Contact +55 (73) 3288-1730 or email [email protected] to arrange specific assistance.
