Geo Walk
From 10:00 to 11:30
The Mata de Barão de São João is an example of the importance of cultural geosystem services, as it offers an environment for recreation and artistic inspiration, as well as the opportunity to enjoy natural heritage. With its historical and cultural value, the Mata allows us to understand the relationship between the abiotic component and human development. It represents an “open-air laboratory” that contributes to increasing scientific knowledge and exploring the geological and biological evolution of the region.
