Reserva Florestal do Cedro Adventures

Located in the northeastern state of Paraíba, Brazil, Reserva Florestal do Cedro represents a vital effort in forest conservation within the Atlantic Forest biome. This forest reserve protects remnants of native tropical semideciduous forest and is key for preserving endangered species and plant diversity in the region. The reserve's geography features gentle hills and valleys interspersed with forest streams helping sustain a variety of ecosystems. Though primarily dedicated to conservation and scientific research, the area supports several low-impact recreational opportunities such as hiking, birdwatching, and nature photography. Historically, the area faced extensive deforestation pressures but was established as a reserve to safeguard the critical habitats of local wildlife and rare tree species, including the native cedar trees (Cedro). Visitors come here seeking tranquility and an immersive experience in one of Paraíba’s few remaining forested areas, encountering species like howler monkeys, various birds, and endemic plants. Infrastructure is minimal to protect its natural state, emphasizing responsible outdoor activity. The reserve serves as an important ecological corridor linking other protected areas, contributing significantly to regional conservation strategies and scientific studies.
