Find your nature

Ekôa means “home” in tupi-guarani. This is our home. Here we stimulate the reconnection with nature and enchantment with the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest.

Ekôa remains closed according to WHO guidelines for the control of the coronavirus pandemic. We are preparing for the post-pandemic reopening, following the most careful hygiene and safety protocols for our visitors and employees.

Visits will be limited and must be scheduled in advance.

When in operation, the park is open to the public for “day use” on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, from 9 am to 5 pm. Here, the public has access to a day of ecological experiences, privileged contact with the forest, adventure and learning in a mix of educative and entertainment activities.
