Early in the afternoon on October 9, 2011, we arrived at Aparados da Serra National Park (Parque Nacional de Aparados da Serra). The park was created in 1959 and is located in the Serra Geral range of Rio Grande do Sul State in southern Brazil. This park was one of Brazil's first national parks set up to protect the Itaimbezinho canyon and its environs. Nearly six miles long and a mile deep, our photograph shows a waterfall flowing over just one small part of the Itaimbezinho. Temperatures were in the 80's on this partly cloudy, humid day.
