|  | This charming mountain town shows a definite Bavarian influence. Its mild climate and wooded landscapes are wonderful for hiking and exciting adventures.
Sheer drop on the horizon
The network of trails in the Parque Estadual do Caracol or Parque das Sequóias make you want to hike. The most fearless will head for the Parque dos Aparados da Serra; the trail lies along a gorge with a sheer 600-meter drop that snakes through the forest.
Garden of Eden
Plan a walk through Brazil's last remaining Araucaria forest, on the plateau of Fortaleza canyon. In the jungle to the west, you may see tapirs, pumas and different species of birds. |
