The Natural Reserve Park (RPPN – Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural) “Ninho do Corvo” is localized at a central region of the state of Paraná, near Prudentópolis.

Some of the waterfalls are open to public visitation and others can only be visited by scheduled and guided tours. The site was acquired in 2002 with the intention of its owners to transform the area, which was used for the cultivation of beans and corn for the most part, into a small eco-tourism enterprise, which works respecting the environment and the community in general and seeks to value the local workforce and pass on the values of conservationism and responsible ecotourism. It is the first RPPN in its municipality, and one of the few in Brazil to focus on being a small tourist enterprise that develops its activities in order to seek greater sustainability.
