Parque Estadual De Vila Velha, Ponta Grossa, Jardim Vila Velha, State of Paraná, Brazil
Considered the main attraction of Natural Thick Thick, this Conservation Unit is composed of three main elements: Sandstone, which are rock formations that present varied forms, such as:
the cup, the camel, among others; Furnas, which are characterized by large craters with exuberant vegetation and water in its interior (underground sheet) and Lagoa Dourada that has this name for having the bottom mixed with mica that causes its waters to have a golden color when it reflects the light of the Sun at dusk.
The Vila Velha State Park, which during the years of 2002 and 2004 was in the process of revitalization, had some of its areas recovered. All the walks are made by trails and accompanied by guides of the park itself.
Tombado by the Department of Historical and Artistic Patrimony of the State in 1966, it houses a varied fauna: wolf-guará (already rare), jaguatiricas, quatis, wild cats, wild dogs, irars, ferrets, Armadillos, woodpeckers, doves, partridges, anteaters, and other species of birds, among others.
The administrative responsibility of the park is of the IAP (Environmental Institute of Paraná).
Access is by the highway BR 376 (Ponta Grossa -Curitiba), Km 28 from Ponta Grossa, exit by Av. Visconde de Mauá (Oficinas) or Av. Visconde de Taunay (Ronda).
