The Brazilian Southeastern region offers an Atlantic Forest jewel – the Pedra Azul State Park. Located in the state of Espírito Santo, the park has a great many tracks, waterfalls and other natural attractions, with easy access from most of the cities in Brazil.
In terms of fauna and flora, the park is a very rich place of the Brazilian biome. Though it has been extremely affected by the urbanization process which has taken place over the last fifty years, it is still a large and preserved natural treasure. Ecotourism fans might find orchid species, ipes and bromeliads – typical plants of the Atlantic Forest vegetation.
In order to find all the natural life diversity, the trails are the best option for the visitor tour. Tracking and hiking beginners should choose the Cedro Sentado hike, with around 600 meters of extension, which leads to the Blue Stone lookout – a breathtaking view for a short walk.
Those who are in the mood for an intense adventure will be able to opt for the 2500-meter natural pool trail and 97-meter rock formations. At the end of this adventure are the beautiful natural pools, which obviously can be enjoyed by the tourists.
If this destination interests you, planning is a good option. There are several options of guides to better show the place to visitors. The Pedra Azul State Park is a Brazilian gem, which provides a strong contact with nature and must be known by Brazilians.
