Itapuã State Park

The park spans 5,566 hectares across wetlands, forests, and coastal areas at the intersection of Guaíba Lake and Patos Lagoon in Rio Grande do Sul.

European colonists first arrived in the region during 1733, followed by families from the Azores who attempted agriculture despite the infertile soil conditions.

The name originates from Guarani language, translating to 'rocky point', reflecting the indigenous heritage of this natural landmark in southern Brazil.

Access to the park is limited to 350 daily visitors, with entrance permitted from Thursday through Sunday between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM.

The park contains the last natural environments of Porto Alegre metropolitan region, including hills, beaches, dunes, and lagoons with brown howler monkeys.
