Parque Natural Estoril

Parque Natural Estoril is a protected area for Atlantic Forest fragments located in São Bernardo do Campo with walking trails and a zoo. The park combines forest paths with animal enclosures and an art museum spread across the grounds.

The site opened in 1955 as a leisure park and was later designated as an official conservation area. This shift in 2013 marked a change from recreational use to focused environmental protection.

An open-air art museum displays Brazilian sculptures scattered throughout the grounds that encourage visitors to think about environmental protection. These artworks create a natural connection between artistic expression and the forest surroundings.

The park operates mid-week through Sunday and requires sturdy footwear for forest trails. Arriving early helps you observe animals when they are more active and avoids the midday heat.

The zoo within the grounds houses over 250 animals from many species, including rare birds like purple-breasted parrots. This collection helps visitors understand the endangered wildlife of the region.
