NATIONAL PARK OF SERRA DA CANASTRA

Birth place of the largest wholly Brazilian river, São Francisco (or simply “Velho Chico” – “Old Chico”), the National Park of Serra da Canastra offers to the visitor a fascinating scenery, waterfalls and still a lot to do like hiking, trekking (on foot, horseback, car or moto rides), radical sports and the unmistakable “mineira” hospitality with its delicious cuisine.

When hiking around it is possible to see some of the animal species threatened of extinction, Tamanduá-Bandeira – the Great Anteater, Lobo Guará – Maned Wolf, Tatu Peba – Hairy Six-banded Armadillo, and also exotic species of the typical flora of Cerrado ecosystem.

The Brazilian Merganser (Mergus Octosetaceus) is the most threatened animal in this area, only about 250 individuals remain – all over the planet – as reported by Brazilian and Foreign researchers that come here seeking for information on the specie. Even due to its reduced number of individuals, it is not so difficult to be seen. Birds are especially sensitive to habitat degradation within river catchments, from activities such as logging, mining and agriculture. This species is sedentary, eats fish, and occurs on rivers flowing through remote sub-tropical forest in Brazil. Almost nothing is known about its biology, and only two nests have ever been found.
