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.
The area was designated as a protected site in 1971 through a state decree to preserve the environment and provide public access. Years later in 2003, it received its current name to honor a pioneering conservationist.
The park is named after an agronomist who dedicated himself to environmental conservation in southern Brazil. Visitors can see how this commitment to nature protection shapes the area today.
The park is accessible on most days with free entry for pedestrians while vehicles require a fee. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since pathways cross rocky terrain and uneven ground.
The area is part of a UNESCO Geopark and displays rock formations that tell the story of millions of years of Earth's history. These geological features offer visitors a window into the deep past of our planet.
