is for that reason a place of walking and hiking very popular. In the shelter are carried out educational recreational activities, offering opportunities for environmental education at various levels. Three interpretive trails: Kañimby, Ka'i ladder and allow Palmital knowledge of plants and animals.
Another important activity of importance is the recovery of plant life, which is done through afforestation programs and enrichment of forests. On an ongoing basis, scientific researches will be carried out, particularly relating to indigenous flora and fauna and the interrelationships between all components of biotic and no biotic area. Among the services provided to the public are cited: a guide, talks on environmental education, photographic safari, recreation area with accommodation and amenities for a stay in place, at no cost for visitors.
