About Parque Ecológico Juracy Magalhães
The Parque Ecológico Juracy Magalhães is linked to the açude of the same name and adds a water environment to Itaberaba's landscape. The shoreline is part of the municipality's communal spaces, allowing observation of the relationship between the reservoir and the urban area. The visit here focuses on the public walking sections, not presupposing swimming or activities inside private facilities.
On arrival, identify the open path and the return point. The reservoir level varies and does not imply an available waterfall or suitable condition for swimming. Observing the banks can be part of a visit to the town even when the water is lower. Preserve the vegetation along the açude and keep trash away from the banks. To combine the park with continuing along BR-242, allow time for urban travel, separate from the passage along the highway corridor. The importance of this space also lies in its use by Itaberaba residents, which should be respected during walks and photography.
