Cambara do Sul is the nearest town to the national parks Aparados da Serra and Serra Geral. These parks are visited mostly by Brazilians and very little by foreigners, even though I found them to be extraordinary.

In Aparados da Serra National Park you'll find the canyon Itaimbezinho ("stone cut out" in Guarani), which measures 720 m deep and six kilometers long.

Because of the mist, I left my camera in the backpack.
