Municipal Natural Park Of Serra Do Mendanha

About

The Municipal Natural Park of Serra do Mendanha offers a lush escape into the heart of the Atlantic Forest. Hiking trails wind through dense vegetation, leading you to breathtaking viewpoints where the city fades away, replaced by sweeping vistas of verdant hills, cascading waterfalls, and pristine streams. The park is also a refuge for native wildlife, including sloths, toucans, and various species of butterflies. The refreshing pools formed by natural waterfalls provide the perfect spots to cool off after a day of exploration. For photographers, the ever-changing light filtering through the forest canopy creates magical moments worth capturing. Serra do Mendanha is part of a vital ecological corridor, helping to preserve Rio's remaining green spaces and offering an educational experience about conservation and sustainability.
