santuario ecologico de pipa

RobbNYC

We recently spent four days in Pipa. After a couple of days at the beach, we were up for something different. We spent a couple of hours at the Sanctuary which we greatly enjoyed. The walks are not difficult, and there are varying lengths of trails depending on how much you want to do. We saw one small monkey in the forested part, enjoyed the beautiful vistas, and saw the great sea turtles in the water below. There is a small, decent exhibit as well. As the area is well forested, it does not matter if you go in the heat of the day. Definitely a worthwhile excursion which gives a little diversity to a beach trip as well.

This nature reserve is definitely worth a visit. We didn't see that many animals: no turtles, one small snake, lots of little monkeys. The monkeys were really cute and came quite close. It gets nice and cool among the trees and there are some great views of the beaches below. The exhibition is interesting too, so walk all the way to the headland.You can get down to Praia Madeiro from the reserve.

This is an excellent park! We didn't know about this park until we arrived in Pipa. And what a pleasant surprise!! You have to pay R$10 (October/14) to enter the park and you can stay there the whole day. You can walk in the bushes, spot some sea turtles and dolphins! It is amazing to see them in their natural habitat. There are lots of view points that shows you Dolphins Bay and Madeiro Beach. From there, you can also visit Madeiro beach and return to the park for more walking/learning about sea turtles.Overall, an excellent park. We really enjoyed our day there!

This reserve is about a 30 minute walk (my husband and I walked there) from the center of Pipa, or a quick drive. This is a great activity choice for anyone who loves nature and physical activity. There are 15 different trails but none are very long so you can cover quite a lot of ground in an afternoon. I like that you don't need a guide to explore the reserve so you are able to explore at your own pace (unlike Parque das Dunas in Natal). The views are stunning and you can observe turtles and dolphins. My only complaint (and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5) is that the signs should be more informative. For example they have the pictures of the animals for which the trails are named after, but on the map it has the name and not the picture. So if you don't know the name of an animal it can be hard to follow the map. But overall I highly recommend!

Very interesting and worth to visit. You learn about native plants, turtles, etc.. There are different tours / trails availbale. Nice lookout Point from where we also saw plenty of turtles

It's worth the 10 bucks! Breathtaking views, lovely hike, good museum. I haven't seen dolphins but I've got to see lots of sea turtles and monkeys. By the end of the trail just enjoy the beach. Highly recommended!

Nice and well maintained trails allow you to walk through the wilderness. You need to go by car (ask if the road conditions permit driving down to the museum). The best part are the views down on the beaches and the excellent views for spotting dolphins and wild turtles.

Very nice views, you learn a lot about this part of Mata Atlantica that is very different from the more humid ones in Sao Paulo, nice walk, learn also about flora and fauna, good access to a nice beach

it is ok if you are planing to visit Madeiro beach after walking the short trails since they have stairs going straight down.really not much to see other than a bunch a land tutles in a dirty pond and a great view of Golfinhos Beach and downtown Pipa boats and cliffs from a viewpoint

AOVirginia

This is a mini nature preserve with well kept trails, and some wonderful views. Very helpful volunteers. From there one can go down about 160 steps to Madeiro Beach. Bring water. Accessible by public transportation.

Il santuario è una zona protetta di foresta tropicale che dispone di un piccolo museo con informazioni sugli animali della zona, soprattutto sulle famose tartarughe marine. Siamo stati al santuario settimana scorsa insieme con le nostre due bambine di 4 e 11 anni. Il parco è curato bene , co sono dei sentieri che si percorrono senza troppa fatica e si puó provare la sensazione di sentirsi completamente immersi nella foresta. Seguendo il percorso si raggiungono diversi punti dai quali ammirare le spiaggie sottostanti. È una interessante opzione per darsi un riposo dal sole delle spiagge e imparare qualcosa in piú sulla natura del posto. Il muse potrebbe essere curato meglio, non ci sono molte attrezzature e nel complesso bisogna sapersela cavare da soli, scegliendo un percorso non troppo lingo. Miraccomando non date da mangiare ai macachi che anche se sembrano carini possono mordere con seri rischi di contrarre malattie o di dover andare a fare una vaccinazione specifica.

Algumas trilhas estão precisando de sinalização urgente, inclusive optamos por fazer uma trilha bem fácil e não conseguimos concluir com êxito, pois não localizamos o local de onde se tem a vista das tartarugas e da praia.

...da baía dos golfinhos e praia do madeiro pela trilha principal, a trilha do jacu. Lugar maravilhoso para tiras ótimas fotografias! Vistas de tirar o fôlego!

O Santuário serve como acesso a Praia do Madeiro, passando pela sua trilha menor, a trilha do Jacu. Nesta trilha temos três mirantes das praias que são de tirar o folego de tão lindos, sendo que de um deles pode-se avistar as tartarugas marinhas.Ainda nesta trilha tem uma pequena base do Projeto Tamar e sanitários muito bem cuidados.A escada de acesso a praia, batizada de Descida dos Piratas é bem íngreme e com certo grau de dificuldade.
