Parque Estadual Intervales , São Paulo

February 2014

My first postcard from São Paulo - Brazil, it shows Parque Estadual Intervales (Intervales State Park), It comprises an area of about 41.700 hectares and it was created in 1995, although the area had been protected since 1987 (former Fazenda Intervales). The Park is situated on a 3300 ft high escarpment the Serra do Mar, that runs parallel to the Atlantic coast of SE Brazil, and is located between the following reserves , Intervales State Park is one of the most productive birding site in Atlantic Rain Forest and perhaps the best remaining accessible patch of Atlantic forest left on earth.
