The José Lutzenberger State Park, officially known as Parque da Guarita, is a protected area in Brazil located within the municipality of Torres, situated northeast of Rio Grande do Sul state. This park honors the legacy of José Lutzenberger, a renowned environmentalist from Rio Grande do Sul who was instrumental in its establishment. The Parque da Guarita occupies an area that serves as a tourist hub. It features a coastal ecosystem with a beach known as the Guarita, yet its development focused on replicating other regional ecosystems rather than solely relying on the coast. A notable photograph of Torre da Guarita showcases this unique location. Meanwhile, a Photogrammetric UAV-based Survey of Morro da Guarita in Torres/RS highlights the geological significance of the site, where Serra Geral Basalts meet Botucatu Formation sandstones, creating an intriguing contact zone.
