Serra da Tiririca State Park, State park in Niterói, Brazil
The Serra da Tiririca park extends across 3,493 hectares of Atlantic Forest, featuring mountainous terrain and a marine section stretching 1,700 meters into the ocean.
Charles Darwin explored this region during his scientific journey in 1832, documenting the local flora and fauna while traveling toward Cabo Frio.
The park contains numerous archaeological sites with sambaquis from prehistoric settlements, indicating continuous human presence dating back thousands of years.
Visitors can access the park daily from 7:00 to 18:00 through the reception center located in the Itacoatiara neighborhood of Niterói.
The Darwin Trail spans 2.2 kilometers from Engenho do Mato to Itaocaia, following the exact path taken by the British naturalist during his visit.
