Turvo State Park, State park in Derrubadas, Brazil
The protected area spans 17,491 hectares of Upper Uruguay forest, containing numerous plant species and a diverse population of native wildlife.
The Brazilian government established Turvo State Park on March 11, 1947, to safeguard the untouched lands along the Uruguay River banks.
The park serves as an educational center for environmental research, offering opportunities to study regional ecosystems and wildlife behavior patterns.
Access to the park requires an entrance fee, with visits limited to specific days and strict regulations prohibiting camping, fishing, and pets.
The Yucumã Falls within the park form a geological formation in the Uruguay River, extending across the riverbed as the second-widest waterfall system.

The South Region of Brazil brings together nature reserves, waterfalls, beaches, and mountain peaks. Here you find geological formations such as canyons and caves, plus islands with archaeological sites. The landscape ranges from the Atlantic coast to inland highlands, where subtropical rainforest grows and rivers run through gorges. The region offers surf areas like Guarda do Embaú and Praia do Rosa, hiking trails through Cânion Itaimbezinho and Cânion Fortaleza, and mountain destinations such as Pico Paraná and Morro da Igreja. Nature parks like Parque Nacional de Aparados da Serra and Reserva Natural Salto Morato protect native species and ecosystems. Visitors can explore sandstone formations at Parque Estadual de Vila Velha, walk through caves like Gruta de Botuverá, or visit islands such as Ilha do Campeche. Serra do Rio do Rastro winds through curves into the mountains, while waterfalls like Cachoeira do Avencal and Cascata Encantada drop through forests.
