Guartelá State Park

The 798-hectare Guartelá State Park features a deep canyon, towering rock formations, native vegetation, waterfalls, and diverse wildlife including giant anteaters and maned wolves.

The park, established in 1996, contains rock paintings estimated to be 7,000 years old and evidence of colonial-era Jesuits who traversed these lands.

Local guides lead visitors through designated trails to view ancient rock art sites, sharing knowledge about the indigenous peoples who inhabited this region.

The park welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Sunday between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM, offering two main trails measuring 5 and 9 kilometers in length.

Guartelá Canyon stands as the sixth largest canyon worldwide and remains the only one completely covered with original native vegetation.
