Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Foz do Iguaçu, followed by a brief journey of just 15 minutes to the Itaipu Biological Refuge. Upon arrival, we will commence a hiking trail designed to deepen our understanding of environmental conservation.
We'll traverse 2 kilometers along the Piracema Canal, immersing ourselves in the features of the indigenous forest, which is home to 960 unique plant species. Prepare to enhance your knowledge in botany!
