Iguazu National Park closes two trails for wildlife monitoring
The Canafistula Trail in Foz do Iguaçu and the Apepu Trail in São Miguel do Iguaçu will be closed from September 28 to October 12 for a wildlife monitoring campaign. Other park trails, such as the Falls Trail, the Black Pit Path, and the São João Circuit, remain open.
Urbia+Cataratas, the concessionaire responsible for managing Iguazu National Park, announced the closure of the two trails for local wildlife monitoring activities.
While these trails are closed, visitors can use other walking options in the park. The Bananeiras Path, however, is also closed for revitalization work.
The concessionaire advises visitors to stay on the marked routes, avoid shortcuts, and keep a respectful distance from the wildlife. For the open trails, it recommends staying hydrated, using sunscreen and insect repellent, and wearing appropriate closed shoes for hiking.
The park offers experiences beyond the Falls, including the São João Circuit, the Falls Bike Path, the Usina Area, and exclusive routes to enjoy sunrise, sunset, and stargazing at night. Some attractions require a separate ticket. On Saturdays, local artisans and producers sell their goods in the park.
