Linhares: A Biodiversity Preservation Site in Brazil
Linhares is a populous town situated 84 miles away from the center of Espirito Santo, Brazil. It prides itself on being home to 69 lagoons and lakes. The Juparanã Lagoon, a freshwater stream, comes in second in terms of having the water volume in the county. Its unique landscape can be attributed to being situated on a low-lying area along the Doce River. As a region with a bountifully supply of water, it has a lot of nature parks that are protected for conservation.
Best Time to Visit
Linhares accommodations and flights are more expensive than usual during the summer months of June to August. For guests that are planning to go here anytime between September through November should be wary of recurring rain showers.
What to Do & Area Attractions
This municipality is home to three nature parks, namely, Comboios Biological Reserve, Goytacazes National Forest, and Sooretama Biological Reserve. Aside from protecting the forest, there is also a conservation site called Projeto Tamar for sea turtles in the area. A local taxidermist who has taken a liking to preserve the remains of Linhares’ wildlife offers a museum called Museo Lorenzutti, which features around 2,000 species of mammals and birds for educational purposes. Visitors who would like to be close to nature can book Hotel BHS, which is just 30 minutes away from the lakes. Meanwhile, they can also choose to make a reservation at Days Inn Linhares if they are looking for a more centrally located lodging.
