Parque da Ferradura
A canyon park in northern Canela, where a river bends into a perfect horseshoe through a 420-meter-deep gorge.
The park has three lookouts. The most famous view looks down on the Caí River as it makes a large horseshoe-shaped bend through the canyon. The trails pass through araucaria forest, and the round trip takes about 2 to 3 hours. Admission requires a ticket. It can be visited on the same day as the neighboring glass lookout and lies about 12 km from Canela. Some sections are dirt roads, so conditions can be poor after rain.
Opening hours
About 09:00–17:00
