Sapiranga Reserve, Nature reserve in Mata de São João, Brazil

The Sapiranga Reserve encompasses 600 hectares of Atlantic Forest with seven marked trails leading through dense vegetation to the Rio Pojuca waterfalls.

The establishment of Sapiranga Reserve in 1999 marked a significant step in protecting the Atlantic Forest biome and its native species.

Local communities participate in conservation programs within the reserve, contributing to environmental education and sustainable tourism development.

The reserve is accessible via Linha Verde, located 2 kilometers south, and offers options for hiking, horseback riding, and cycling through marked paths.

At 22 meters above sea level, the reserve functions as an ecological corridor for migrating species while protecting numerous endemic plants and animals.
