Tainhas State Park, State park in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

The protected area spans 6,654 hectares across three municipalities, featuring forests in the Tainhas River valley surrounded by elevated grasslands.

The state government established Tainhas State Park through decree 23.798 on March 12, 1975, to protect native fields and forests.

The Caaguara indigenous people first inhabited this region, sustaining themselves through hunting, fishing, and gathering fruits in the highlands.

While the park remains partially closed to general visitation, guided tours can be arranged to explore specific areas like Passo do S waterfall.

The park contains an S-shaped waterfall where the Tainhas River flows over a ledge 80 meters wide and 15 meters high.
