About Superagui National Park

 

Superagui National Park, located in the state of Paraná, Brazil, covers a diverse and ecologically critical landscape of islands, mangroves, swamps, and Atlantic rainforest along the southern coast. It was established in 1998 to protect the vulnerable ecosystems of the Superagui Archipelago, including the main island, Superagui Island, and several smaller islands. The park plays a vital role in preserving habitat for many endangered species, including the endangered Superagui Lion Tamarins, manatees, and diverse migratory birds. The park is a mosaic of mangrove forests, salt marshes, freshwater lagoons, and dense coastal rainforest, providing unique opportunities for wildlife viewing and ecological research. Visitors can explore its remote trails, kayak through calm waterways, or enjoy birdwatching amid the region’s rich fauna. Its cultural heritage includes traditional Caiçara fishing communities, which coexist with conservation efforts. Access to the park often involves boat travel from nearby mainland towns, preserving the area’s solitude and pristine condition. Superagui National Park appeals especially to eco-tourists, wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and adventurers seeking a less-traveled natural destination in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest biome.
