Parque Natural Municipal do Pedroso, Natural reserve in Santo André, Brazil.
Parque Natural Municipal do Pedroso is a nature reserve in Santo André featuring Atlantic Forest vegetation, multiple lakes, and natural springs throughout the property. The landscape consists of dense forest areas crossed by waterways and marked trails for visitors to explore.
The land once belonged to the Pedroso family and was used for charcoal production before becoming a water collection site in the 1940s. Its transformation into a public park unfolded gradually as the natural functions of the forest were recognized and protected.
A chapel built by local woodcutters was moved to the park in the 1970s, marking when this natural area opened to the public. The site shows how the forest and the people who worked there have shaped this landscape over generations.
The park is open during daylight hours and generally welcomes visitors at no cost. For specific activities like guided hikes or group visits, it is helpful to contact the administration in advance.
The park supplies fresh water to the city through the Pedroso stream microbasin, a role many visitors do not immediately recognize when walking the trails. This hidden function reveals how closely the forest is linked to daily life in the region.
