Guartelá Canyon, Natural canyon in Paraná, Brazil.
The Guartelá Canyon stretches for 30 kilometers between Tibagi and Castro municipalities, reaching depths of 450 meters along the Iapó River course.
The State Park protecting the canyon was established in 1992 to preserve natural heritage and archaeological sites containing 7,000-year-old rock paintings.
The name Guartelá originates from local settlers warning each other about Kaingang indigenous presence in the region during early colonization periods.
Visitors can access the canyon through marked trails within the State Park, which operates Wednesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
Four different vegetation types merge in the canyon area: Araucaria Forest, Grasslands, Cerrado Savanna, and Peroba Forest ecosystems.
