The Serra da Baitaca State Park (Portuguese: Parque Estadual Serra da Baitaca) is a state park in the state of Paraná, Brazil.
The Serra da Baitaca State Park is divided between the municipalities of Piraquara and Quatro Barras in the state of Paraná (state). The larger part is in Quatro Barras, with a narrow southern extension into Piraquara.[1] It has an area of 3,053 hectares (7,540 acres).[2] It is 25 kilometres (16 mi) from Curitiba, the first major elevation of the Serra do Mar on the west side. The summit of the Serra da Baitaca has an altitude of 1,420 metres (4,660 ft). The state park is considered the most important practical mountaineering school in Paraná, and one of the most important in Brazil. The park holds the sources of the Iguaçu River, and also holds springs that supply the city of Curitiba.[3]
