The city of Cambará do Sul serves as a base to visit Aparados da Serra National Park and Serra Geral National Park. They border each other and share the same type of ecological environment, where large canyons formed by enormous rocky cliffs on wavy reliefs comprise the landscape. There are also sections of Mata Atlântica, fields of grass and Araucaria Forests. Spotted leopards, wildcats, woodpeckers, hawks, among others, are part of the local fauna...
... Itaimbezinho Canyon is Aparados da Serra National Park's most famous canyon: 720 meters deep, 6 km long and 200 m wide. It stands out for its vertical rocky cliffs with little vegetation on its steep slope. The canyon is cut by the Perdizes and Preá Rivers, which form the Boi River. It is located only 80 m from the park's Visitor's Center and can be seen along the Vértice and Cotovelo Belvedere trails' considered the canyon's classic view, where you get an idea of the magnitude of of place. From up above, it is possible to contemplate an endless vastness. An unforgettable tour.
