Canela Preta Biological Reserve

Canela Preta Biological Reserve (Portuguese: Reserva Biológica Estadual da Canela Preta) is a biological reserve in Santa Catarina, Brazil.

The reserve, which lies in the municipalities of Botuverá and Nova Trento, was founded on 20 June 1980 by decree 11,232.

The region is hilly, with many valleys whose streams flow into the Itajaí-Açu and Tijucas rivers.

[2] Since it is home to species of vegetation that are disappearing in the state, the site is closed to the public.
