About Serra Verde State Park

 

Serra Verde State Park is located in the Serra do Mar mountain range in Paraná, Brazil. Characterized by dense Atlantic Forest vegetation, the park encompasses rugged terrain with steep slopes, waterfalls, and diverse flora and fauna including many endemic and endangered species. Established to protect the fragile forest ecosystem and promote environmental education, Serra Verde serves as a critical refuge for native wildlife and plants. Visitors explore numerous trails that wind through thick jungle, crossing streams and offering views of the surrounding mountains. The park is historically significant as part of the ancient Atlantic Forest corridor, which once spanned much of Brazil’s southeastern coast. Popular activities include hiking, birdwatching, and guided nature tours. Notable landmarks include the Cascata do Rio Didí waterfall and scenic viewpoints that overlook valleys blanketed by verdant forest. Serra Verde is valued for its tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for those seeking immersion in nature and a break from urban life. The park works in tandem with local conservation groups and communities to foster sustainable tourism and protect its natural resources.
