For nature lovers and families with children, this tour is designed as a visit to the Miranda do Corvo Walkways and the Miranda do Corvo Biological Park, a national landmark. On this tour, the guide will primarily serve as a companion and provide guidance to the group. The idea is for tourists to enjoy the sites at their own pace and according to their own preferences.

.
