Itaimbezinho Canyon Day Trip

Join us to discover one of the lushest landscapes in Brazil on this excursion to the Itaimbezinho Canyon. We'll see the largest canyon in Latin America and learn about the native wildlife.

Itaimbezinho Canyon Day Trip

We'll pick you up at the selected meeting point at the scheduled time and head to the city of Cambará do Sul to explore the largest canyon in Latin America.

Once in the Aparatos da Serra National Park, we'll admire the Itaimbezinho Canyon, almost 6 kilometers (4 miles) long and 700 meters (2,300 feet) deep. This location has been used as a set for Brazilian series and movies.

In the vicinity of the gorge, we'll discuss its basaltic walls, formed over 130 million years ago with tectonic movements and eruptions. This has created a rich ecosystem featuring species from the Atlantic Forest and Araucaria Forest.

During this 6-kilometer (3.72-mile) journey, we'll walk along two low-difficulty trails, the Vértice and the Cotovelo, leading to lookout points with impressive views. Bring your camera.

We will enjoy a picnic lunch while marveling at the canyon's beauty before concluding the excursion and dropping you off back at the meeting point.
