Cambará do Sul Visit to Canyons Fortaleza and Itaimbezinho 740459726 Absolutely beautiful – breath-taking. It is really worth walking up to the very top, both at Fortaleza and Itaimbezinho. However, about 10 days ago there was a terrible accident at the top of Canyon Fortaleza: a buffalo attacked a group of tourists hurting seriously two ladies (the other managed to flee). Therefore, I would not advise going there until there is reassurance from the park administrators that measures were taken to prevent this situation from ever happening again. Moreover, I do not advise to take young children as there as many dangerous cliffs.

Apparently this site is normally overrun with tourists (one observation platform had a max capacity of 75!) We went in the middle of the week and it was extremely peaceful. Beautiful falls, well-marked paths, lots of signage (with some English). 50 reals for the family. Walking is very easy, but we didn't do the 700 step drop to the bottom. Glad we got to enjoy it ourselves.

Worthy of its reputation as one of South America’s best zoos, GramadoZoo is an animal reserve with a difference. Specializing in species native to Brazil and with an emphasis on animal welfare, GramadoZoo makes a welcome change for animal lovers, with spacious open living areas and most of the animals brought in as rescues. More than 1,500 animals currently inhabit the zoo, including capuchin and howler monkeys, tapir, emus and crocodiles, and a 1.800m walkways links each section. Most impressive is the huge aviary, where birds like arraras, parrots and toucans fly freely, while more dangerous creatures like jaguars, leopards and snakes can be seen from behind armored glass screens. Finally, for an even more thrilling encounter, visitors can also choose a night tour and take a peek at the zoo’s nocturnal residents.

Beautiful deep canyon carved into the edge of the plateau. It is a fairly rough dirt road leading from Cambara do Sul to the canyon, I arrived in Cambara too late in the morning to catch the (only?) bus that goes to the canyon, but I was very quickly picked up hitchhiking by some very kind locals. The short hike around the Northeastern tip of the canyon proved some nice viewpoints to see the canyon and waterfalls spilling into it. Unfortunately I did not have time to hike further around the Southwestern elbow of the canyon. All things considered, it is worth the trip, but would probably recommend renting a car, and seeing both this and the Fortaleza Canyon in the same day.

Located in a central park, this is a great way to walk off lunch. There are souvenir shops and a covered area here as well. This park is also a stop for tour buses.
