Parque Estadual do Espinilho

Parque Estadual do Espinilho, State park in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Parque Estadual do Espinilho is a protected natural area in Rio Grande do Sul featuring grasslands, wetlands, and native forests near the Quarai River. The site spans several hundred hectares and contains diverse habitats for wildlife and plant species.

The park was established in 1975 to protect a smaller area and was later significantly expanded through a state decree. This development reflects the growing importance of nature conservation in the region.

The place was long known by the name Campo Osório and bears traces of ancient settlement. Visitors can still recognize traditional regional practices and the connection to local history today.

The site is currently closed to public visitors but is used by researchers for ecological and environmental studies. Anyone interested in the work being done there should contact the operators in advance.

The area is home to distinctive tree species like Prosopis nigra and Prosopis affinis, which are adapted to dry conditions. Additionally, it harbors impressively large colonies of leaf-cutter ants that shape the ecosystem.
