The Campos do Jordão Environmental Protection Area (APA) is a sustainable-use conservation unit that balances preservation with eco-tourism. Spanning over 28,000 hectares, it protects remnants of the Atlantic Forest and high-altitude fields. Visitors can join guided walks to learn about the local flora, including bromeliads and orchids, and spot wildlife such as howler monkeys and toucans. The APA is also a corridor for larger mammals like the puma, making it a key area for biodiversity research. Its proximity to the city center makes it an accessible nature escape.
