Bela Vista Biological Refuge



Cataratas do Iguaçu

Bela Vista Biological Refuge

Environmental protection unit, created by Itaipu in the 1970s to receive animals displaced by the formation of the reservoir. There, research on fauna and flora is carried out, which includes the reproduction of wild animals in captivity and the production of forest seedlings.

At the refuge, visitors can walk trails through the forest to see up close, in nurseries, animals such as the jaguar, the capuchin monkey and the skunk, native to the reservoir region.

Or, still, see forest species such as the guaimbê vine, which grows intertwined with approximately 300-year-old angico gurucaia trees, 26 meters high and 3.5 meters in circumference.

The walks, lasting up to two hours, require the use of appropriate clothing and footwear.
