Serra Furada State Park

The Serra Furada State Park is divided between the municipalities of Orleans and Grão Pará, Santa Catarina.

[1] The rock is most often viewed from the Morro da Igreja, the site of the air traffic control radar towers for southern Brazil.

There are steep cliffs in the highest areas and deep valleys created by strong fluvial erosion.

[2] The park's management plan was developed with resources from the German KfW development bank and the Santa Catarina environmental foundation (FATMA) and environmental police within the framework of the Atlantic Forest Protection Project.

There are special types of pioneer vegetation in the extremely steep or vertical walls of the Serra Geral.

Visitors on the trail to the Serra Furada monument have created patches of bare earth, garbage, marks on tree trunks and graffiti on the rocks.
