Environmental Protection Area of Santa Teresa
Environmental Protection Area of Santa Teresa is a nature reserve in Brazil that protects forests, rivers, and diverse wildlife habitats across the landscape. The area spans rolling terrain covered with thick vegetation and natural water systems.
The area was established as a protected zone to preserve the natural ecosystems and biodiversity of the region. This designation allowed the conservation of forest stands and aquatic habitats for future generations.
Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing since trails wind through natural areas. The best time to explore is during drier months when conditions are more favorable for walking.
