Campo Grande is the capital of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Life never stops there: this region is quite rich both economically and culturally. That is why it is especially pleasant to stop, forgetting about the bustle and looking into the area of wild nature. The Prosa State Park is exactly this kind of place for citizens.
The Prosa State Park is located on the outskirts of Campo Grande and covers an area of 135 hectares. There is a buffer zone with a restriction on development around the park. That's why people notice that it is especially quiet and the air is clean. It is not surprising that this place has become popular among families with children.
The area of the park was defined as a conservation area in 1981. However, the Prosa State Park was only created in 2002. The mission of the green zone is to preserve the unique flora and fauna of the Cerrado ecosystem and the landscape and cultural heritage of the region.
And now, it is successfully performing this task! Thus, this territory is home to many species of mammals, reptiles, and birds - both local and migratory. There are several species of anteaters, armadillos, primates, capybaras, deer, possum, bats, and herons. You can learn more about the fauna in the local Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Please note that it is only open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
The park has several ecological trails that you can walk in the company of an accredited guide. The main trail leads to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. During the trip, the specialist will tell you about local plants and animals.
By the way, this place is worth visiting not only to enjoy the local nature and its inhabitants. The Prosa State Park has countless scenic spots for photoshoots. There are even small waterfalls!
The Prosa State Park is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
