1. Present the place in your region that you have chosen for a microadventure 
(up to 100 words). 
 
Parque da Cidade Dom Nivaldo Monte is a protected area located in Natal. This 
name was given in honor to an apostolic administrator the city had between 1965 and 
1967 who was a lover of nature and dedicated to botany. The park was projected by the 
famous architect Oscar Niemeyer. Construction work began at the end of 2006 and its 
opening was in June 2008. 
The park provides an infrastructure with nature trails, paved trails, restrooms and 
resting points along the route with walking and cycling paths. It also includes a library, 
an auditorium, classrooms and other structures that support environment education 
activites and scientific research. Its famous 45-meter high eyed shaped tower named 
“Memorial de Natal” is a museum where you have a privileged view from the city. 
Parque da Cidade is open every day from 5:00am to 5:30pm and it is free. You 
can get there by car, by bus or even cycling. There are two public entrances, one on the 
East side and other on the West side. There are also parking lots on both sides and the 
bus stop is located right in front of the East entrance. You can catch the lines 24, 33A 
and 33B to reach the park. Nature trails are opened only on Saturday mornings and need 
to be scheduled in advance. 
It is recommend wearing comfortable clothes, hats, tennis shoes and you need 
at least one hour available so that you will be able to see the entire park. Bring enough 
water, snacks and apply some mosquito repellent and sunscreen. Keep in mind that as 
we are dealing with an Environmental Protection Zone it is not allowed to pick any fruits, 
flowers, plants or to harm the animals. 
 
 
2. Justify your choice using 100 to 150 words. 
 
Covering an area of approximately 154 hectares, the park is located in an 
Environmental Protection Zone 1. The Conservation Unit is essencial for protecting 
natural resources, especially the underground water source, which experts point out as 
the most important in Natal. Its vegetation is known as a remnant of the Atlantic rainforest 
associated with some species characteristic of the savanna and the caatinga, resulting 
an area that serves as shelter for wild animals. UNESCO selected Parque da Cidade as 
a Designated Biosphere Reserve in 2019. 
This park is an important area for preservation of natural ecosystems and has a 
positive impact on the city climate. There are at least 18 species of mammals, 65 types 
of birds, 28 reptiles, 3 amphibians and 70 groups of invertebrates listed on its fauna. The 
most common plants among its 192 different species are the cashew nut trees, the 
mangaba trees and the grass. It is also possible to find the brazilwood tree that is 
currently in danger of extinction. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Visiting nature areas is essencial not only to understand the importance of 
environmental protection, but also because it helps us slow down our urbanized rhythm. 
This way, Parque da Cidade Nivaldo Monte is more than a beautiful tourist attraction in 
Natal. It is an important asset for the locals where they can visit the park to engage in 
activities on daily basis as there is a wide range of possibilities such as outdoor 
exercising, trails, cultural and educational events.
