Wonderful place with fabulous landscaping and beautiful buildings. The works of art are amazing. It is a match of architecture, nature and art. The space is very well maintained with a lot of restrooms and a lot of beautiful benches to sit and enjoy the views. There are two very good restaurants and a lot of cafés.

The Furnas Canyons are a “must go” place. The water is crystal clear and there are incredible water falls that drop directly into the lake. Water temperature is comfortable.

This is a great, if underpublicized place to experience wildlife if you have already done some of the more classic places in Brazil like the Pantanal or the Amazon. It is famous for birdlife, and it has lots of birds of many different kinds (parrots, toucans, hummingbirds, trogons, hawks, and many others), but we also saw mammals (Giant Anteater is practically guaranteed - we saw them every day, Maned wolf is much harder but possible, Pampas Deer, skunks, fox), reptiles (venomous snakes, lizards), and butterflies and other interesting insects. We hired Mariana Vabo as our guide and she was amazing - really helped us find wildlife and could identify everything.

For me the primary reason to visit this sanctuary was the maned wolf, which comes to feed here almost every evening. I booked three nights to be sure to see it, and it did not disappoint. The maned wolf showed up every evening, and in addition a dog of the forest (cachorro do mata) appeared on two evenings, and there was even a tapir waiting in the dark, to approach the food when it would be more quiet. Unfortunately, humans chased away the tapir by putting it full in the spotlights of their cameras. In the morning one can see birds around the sanctuary. During the day, the best option is to hike along some of the trails, usually to some cachoeiras (waterfalls) or mirantes. To walk to the peaks one needs to book a guide, which I didn't do. The situation of the sanctuary in the middle of the nature, in the middle of a valley, gives an immense sense of peace and untouched nature. When you don't feel like walking, you can visit the (pretty small) museum, the catacombs, or just drink a coconut in the bar at the entrance. You could spend a week here without getting bored.
