费拉杜拉公园（马蹄公园）

A few miles down a gravel road, with a 5 reale admission price, this is a nice park with some pretty walks that involve changes in elevation, so are mostly for those in decent shape. There's a small restaurant in the park, and we took advantage of the picnic tables to have sandwiches we bought in Canela. There are some nice views of the old mountains and forests, including a waterfall off in the distance, but we could not locate any trails that actually made it to the waterfall. There is such a trail, but we were told it was one hour down and two hours back up, so we did not attempt it with small children in the group. We are told all the rivers are seriously polluted with sewage, or it might be worth a hike for a swim at the bottom of the falls. Check that out before you go out of your way to visit; I doubt many Americans take the time to see this park.

There is no access to the park by public transport and it is few kms away from Canela.The views in the park are amazing. There are several tracks you can take ranging from 20 min walk to 4hrs tramp. I truly enjoyed it and recommend visiting if you are already in Canela.

The park is quite far from Canela and is not accessible by public transport. Only gravel road from Caracol park coes there but there are magnificent scenes yvown on postcards and it is worth visitibg. The entrance is much lower comparing Caracol and there are longer possible trips in quiet nature.

The park has a great landscape, and the belvederes are very accessible (2 min easy walk). Consider taking kids or elderly family members. There is a small zip line for children. The staff is very pleasant. You can take some time for exploring the trails, 4 h must be enough. The road is not paved, but is in good condition.

The walk down to the river cai is excellent and the waterfall amazing. The park itself is so much more relaxing than caracol though takes a bit longer to get to. The lookouts are absolutely amazing also and there are quite a few of them

Worth a visit, specially if you have time to spend there and even better if you are fit enough to walk up and down the trails!

Beautiful view. Went there on a drizzly day and had the place to ourselves with just the mists amidst the valleys, stunning. It had rained heavily the days before so we couldn't go down to the river itself, but even without this it was worth the R$8 each. The normal tours or buses don't go here so you'll have to hire a car or guide to get here.

When you enter the park by car, after a reasonable drive through beatifull landscapes on the continuation of the Caracol road, which is partly unpaved, you don't even imagine the beauty of the view from the belvederes located inside the park. From all of them, you see the meandering river well below in the valley, and the forests and hills surrounding it. Come early, so you can also hike down to the valley. There is a big picnic area at the car park. Excellent place with children.

National park, lot of wild life, nice landscape, I definitively recommend it if you are in the region

We went to Caracol Park and were already impressed by the view. Now, Ferradura Park is even better: breathtaking views over the Serra Gaucha. The place is about 15 km from Canela and by car easy to reach. The facilities there are very basic and this makes is so beautiful. There are even churrasco places where you can have your own BBQ. As it is a bit further from the other tourist attractions, it is more quiet and you can really enjoy this impressive panorama. For me the number one place to visit in Gramado/Canela.

Parque da Ferradura is a private nature preserve that has three lookouts to the Vale da Ferradura (Horseshoe Valley), formed by Rio Santa Cruz. You can walk trails in more than 500 acres of pine forests through hilly countryside. A strenuous two-hour trek reaches Rio Caí near its source. Spotting deer, anteaters, and badgers is quite common! Wonderful place!

The park itself has a very simple structure, but the view is amazing!If you have time and physical condition you may walk down to the river.But it really worht the visit!

you can go for lunch, picnic walk and see a wonderful landscape and views

The access--16km of a gravel road--to get to this park might offer you a kind of jumpy car ride. Though, nothing terrible since the views still have this untouched quality of the so-called "progress". The "mirantes" are unforgettable. I have been there many times and I assure you that you will be flabbergasted with the views, the silence, and the peace that ebraces this place

There is a good view on the canion/river/waterfall basically 100 meters from the parking. But what is really interesting - is to go to the bottom of the waterfall; but the path is slippery and requires good physical conditions and hiking shoes.
