The South Region of Brazil brings together nature reserves, waterfalls, beaches, and mountain peaks. Here you find geological formations such as canyons and caves, plus islands with archaeological sites. The landscape ranges from the Atlantic coast to inland highlands, where subtropical rainforest grows and rivers run through gorges. The region offers surf areas like Guarda do Embaú and Praia do Rosa, hiking trails through Cânion Itaimbezinho and Cânion Fortaleza, and mountain destinations such as Pico Paraná and Morro da Igreja. Nature parks like Parque Nacional de Aparados da Serra and Reserva Natural Salto Morato protect native species and ecosystems. Visitors can explore sandstone formations at Parque Estadual de Vila Velha, walk through caves like Gruta de Botuverá, or visit islands such as Ilha do Campeche. Serra do Rio do Rastro winds through curves into the mountains, while waterfalls like Cachoeira do Avencal and Cascata Encantada drop through forests.
