Ecotourism and astrotourism expansion in Brazil

Overview

Brazilian state parks and mountainous regions are expanding ecotourism and astrotourism offerings. In São Paulo, Parque Caminhos do Mar has introduced guided night hikes in the Atlantic Forest paired with overnight camping. Similarly, Paraná’s Parque Estadual de Vila Velha has implemented a program combining daytime treks with nighttime walks featuring astronomical observations led by specialists.

In the Rio de Janeiro region, Santa Maria Madalena has become a significant destination for astrotourism, supported by Desengano State Park, which was certified as the first ‘dark sky park’ in Latin America. Complementing these celestial activities, the Caminhos de Trajano de Moraes offers extensive trekking, cycling, and paragliding routes through the Atlantic Forest, passing through historical colonial sites and protected forests.
