Lagoa do Peixe National Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lagoa do Peixe is a National Park created in 1986 in order to protect a wintering zone for migratory birds along the Lagoa dos Patos (the estuary of the Guaiba river or Guaíba Lake at the South of Porto Alegre).

The park is open to tourism (only a few thousands visitors per year) and managed with a very light protection policy (human pollution from the Guaíba Lake, lack of enclosing and gates, etc.)
