Costa do Sol State Park, State park in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Costa do Sol State Park extends across 9,840 hectares, incorporating coastal areas, mangroves, lagoons, and forested regions across six municipalities in Rio de Janeiro state.
The establishment of the park in April 2011 marked a significant milestone as Brazil's first mosaic park, featuring 27 separate environmental preservation zones.
The park contains ancient sambaqui archaeological sites, revealing evidence of prehistoric communities that inhabited this coastal region thousands of years ago.
Visitors can access multiple trails throughout the park sectors, which connect various natural attractions in Araruama, Búzios, Arraial do Cabo, and neighboring municipalities.
The Lagoa Vermelha section houses limestone formations created by microorganisms, providing scientific insights into Earth's evolutionary processes.
