The Mirante Camping e Lazer (Camping and Leisure Observatory) is located at the top of the region. The property was previously used for rice farming and cattle ranching and is being restored through the replanting of native vegetation.[2]

The Sepotuba River which cuts through the region is important for ecotourism as it has many waterfalls and rapids.
