Vila Velha: Stunning Landscapes and Geological History
The journey begins at Vila Velha State Park, one of Paraná’s most impressive attractions. The park is famous for its sandstone rock formations, sculpted by erosion over millions of years. Landmarks like the Goblet, the Camel, and the Boot are just some of the fascinating geological formations you’ll find along the way.
As you walk along the Arenitos Trail, you'll encounter a surreal landscape that looks like something out of a movie. The panoramic views and the opportunity to learn about the land’s formation are just a few of the park’s highlights. In addition to its natural beauty, Vila Velha is an open-air geology lesson.
You can also visit the Meliponary, where you’ll learn about native stingless bees from the Atlantic Forest and their crucial role in the ecosystem. To end your visit, relax and enjoy the stunning views of the Poço Encantado or the Golden Lagoon, where the water reflects a golden glow at sunset.
Buraco do Padre: A Majestic Canyon and Its Fascinating Formations
After visiting Vila Velha, we head to Buraco do Padre, a 50-meter-deep canyon sculpted by the force of water over time. The trail leading to the canyon floor provides a unique experience, allowing you to explore rock formations up close and feel immersed in the natural landscape. The path is surrounded by native forest, making for a breathtaking and immersive walk.
Once you reach the bottom, you'll be rewarded with a spectacular view of the Rio das Pedras, whose crystal-clear waters form small natural pools. Here, you can relax, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, or even take a refreshing dip in the river. The connection with nature in this location is unparalleled, and the feeling of being in an untouched paradise is truly special.
