Description

The Trail of the Giant Trees was created to accommodate self-guided or monitored public visits. It is an interpretive trail, an important tool for conducting educational actions in natural environments, as it features signage, plant species identification signs, and interpretive panels. In addition to the interpretive aspect, the trail offers visitors the privilege of admiring the grandeur of towering and centennial trees such as Jequitibá-rosa, Jequitibá-branco, Peroba-rosa, Jatobá, Pau-d’alho, Figueiras, and other species that have long persisted, beautified, and stratified the forest canopy. It is also possible to contemplate the beautiful rapids of the Ribeirão dos Patos.

Route

The Trilha das Árvores Gigantes begins at the eastern end of the Parque Estadual Porto Ferreira. Its linear route, approximately 5 km long (round trip), passes through two of the biomes in which the protected area lies: the Cerrado (Cerradão), with medium-height, open tree cover, along the boundary with the Fazenda São Judas Tadeu, and the Atlantic Forest (Seasonal Semideciduous Forest), with tall tree cover and a high density of jequitibás. A jequitibá-rosa specimen 2.54 meters in diameter and approximately 30 meters tall is its main attraction. The trail meets the riparian forest at the Ribeirão dos Patos, and the return follows the same path to near the forest exit, at which point the route continues through the transition zone between the biomes, where you can observe the changes in the vegetation types of the Cerradão (Cerrado) and the Seasonal Semideciduous Forest (Atlantic Forest).
