# Serra da Canastra National Park

Serra da Canastra National Park is in Central Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Created to protect the headwaters of the São Francisco river, the Serra da Canastra National Park is best known for its numerous waterfalls, diverse wildlife and for being a haven for the endangered Brazilian Merganser.

## Understand
### History

Named because its resemblance to a trunk (canastra, in old Portuguese), the mountainous region used to be inhabited by the Cataguazes Indians. Very little is known about them besides the fact that they were annihilated by the first colonial scouts in the early 17th century. By the 18th century, taking advantage of the region's remoteness, escaping slaves founded many quilombos (independent hinterland communities) alongside the mountains and many descendants of these communities still live there today. In the 1940s, there was a diamond rush in the region, but the mining activity declined and was prohibited after the creation of the park.
With an original area of 715 km² comprising the municipalities of São Roque de Minas, Vargem Bonita, Delfinópolis and Sacramento, the national park was created in 1972 aiming the preservation of the water springs surrounding the Canastra Mountains and its fauna. In 2001 a federal act extended its area to more than 2000 km² including also the Babilônia Mountains. Today, the park is managed by the Brazilian Environment Institute (IBAMA).
After the conclusion of a paved road connecting São Roque de Minas to Piumhi in 2006, there has been a rapid growth in the number of visitors, and it is now considered an important ecotourism destination in Brazil's Southeast.

### Landscape

Serra da Canastra is best known for its several waterfalls, including the famous Casca D'anta waterfall. The landscape consists mainly of chapada type plateaus with bordering water springs and vast, treeless grass fields on the top.

# Sailing

Sailing can be done with ships or small craft.
* Cruising on small craft provides advice for cruising on a vessel you can afford to buy or charter by yourself.
* Hitchhiking boats are such small craft in need of crew, often for long legs across the ocean. Usually costs are shared between the owner and crew.
* Cruise ships are usually large motor ships, but some companies run sailing ships with the same overall concept.
* Sail Training International and related organisations give youth (and some adults) the chance to sail remaining tall ships of the age or sail, newer purpose built ones, or large sailing yachts. Some of the ships in the Tall Ships' Races are school ships, usually for the navy, but many allow outsiders to join some of the trips.
* Smaller sailing ships may also be operated commercially, offering possibilities to join shorter cruises, sometimes having customers do most of the sailing. Some of these can be found in the destination articles.
* Some expensive destinations also have niche markets for sailing vessel expeditions, as a small vessel can reach places were you cannot go by ship. Several operators offer sailboat expeditions e.g. to Antarctica.

## Other destinations

* -21.61-64.911 Sama Biological Reserve

## Get in

Asunción, Paraguay – The bus travels between Asunción and Santa Cruz and is extremely slow (the Transchaco Highway is only paved as far as the Bolivian border). Buses generally travel only at night - meaning that you miss out on any views of the Chaco, and roadblocks on the Bolivian side of the border can cause your journey time to double. There is at least one bus daily. The trip takes 21-24 hr, costs US$40-60 (bargain if you can), and flights might actually only be marginally more expensive, depending on the time of booking. Any intermediate exit or boarding (like Filadelfia or Villamontes) will likely cost the same as the complete trip. But if your nerves are strong, you will get the price down bargaining directly with the bus driver.
