Trilha da Pirapitinga

The trail traverses sections of preserved forest, passing along the banks of the Ipiranga River and the Paraibuna River, where it is possible to see the confluence of these two rivers, which form rapids, waterfalls, and natural pools where visitors can bathe among fish such as the pirapitinga, an endemic species of the Paraibuna River watershed. Along the route, visitors can spot wildlife species such as the peccary and the catinguelê or serelepe (squirrel); and plant species such as cinnamon, cedar, xaxim, giant fern, and juçara palm. Additionally, the trail has a historical and cultural aspect, as it is possible to see old charcoal kilns used during the charcoal production era for making firewood.
