Guarita State Park, Natural reserve in Torres, Brazil.

Parque Estadual José Lutzenberger sits along the Torres coastline and features basalt cliffs that rise above sandy beaches, creating a meeting point between mountains and ocean. The terrain combines rocky formations, water, and sand with pathways for visitors to explore.
