Minimal environmental impact<br />

guidelines<br />

Do not make campfires or bonfires, fire is one of the park's<br />

greatest enemies. Do not throw cigarette butts on the ground;<br />

Litter Litter is another big problem. It pollutes rivers, trails, and<br />

contaminates the animals. In your hikes, always have a garbage bag with<br />

you and, if possible, collect any trash you find. The park does not have a<br />

garbage collection system, so discard all the litter you produced in a<br />

proper location;<br />

Everything you see in nature is important for the functioning of<br />

the ecosystem. By removing a plant, animal, or even a rock, you will be<br />

risking species that may already be under threat of extinction or are rare<br />

and you'll be interfering with the animals' food chain;<br />

Do not feed wild animals, they are not used to our type of food. Do<br />

not leave food leftovers unprotected on the ground;<br />

Wild animals have as much right to life as we do. Every time an<br />

animal is hunted or removed from its habitat, the entire ecosystem is<br />

harmed. We must respect all forms of life and remember that, in forests, we<br />

are the outsiders. All animals are important and are part of a complex life<br />

chain, which we are also part of;<br />

Pets. Any type of animal foreign to the park's fauna is prohibited.<br />

Pets could bring diseases to wild animals and vice-versa;<br />

Do not use soaps, shampoos, detergents, or any other type of<br />

cleanser that may pollute the water;<br />

Vandalizing properties, graffiti on rocks, trees, and buildings, or<br />

breaking anything will only contribute for the deterioration of the park.<br />

Help us to keep a site that provides so many benefits in good conditions;<br />
