Itaimbezinho, Canyon in Cambara do Sul, Brazil
The Itaimbezinho canyon extends for 5.8 kilometers in length, reaches 720 meters in depth, and features vertical rocky walls measuring 200 meters wide.
The Aparados da Serra National Park, encompassing the Itaimbezinho canyon, was established to safeguard the geological formations and natural ecosystems of the region.
Indigenous tribes named the canyon in Tupi-Guarani language, with 'Ita' meaning stone and 'Aibe' translating to sharp, reflecting the vertical rock formations.
The park welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday with marked trails, including a 1.4-kilometer path along the canyon edge suitable for all fitness levels.
The Cascade of the Swallows waterfall flows into Rio Partridges through a rock formation that serves as a nesting place for numerous swallows.
