Among the representatives of large animals, one can note a large anteater, a maned wolf and an armadillo - the only animal that wears a shell. There are also quite a few large foxes, Brazilian porcupines, jaguars, bush dogs, ocelots and tamarins in the park.

Tourists are offered fishing, safari, hunting, boat trips, hiking and horseback riding. For nature lovers there is an opportunity to stay on the territory of the reserve.
