Hiking Tour at the Itaipu Biological Refuge

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!

As we conclude our hike, we will explore various facilities within the refuge, where you can observe a variety of species including ocelots, vultures, harpy eagles, jaguars, and snakes.
