The methodological sequence on which the work was organized included the collection of background of the cartography of the study area through the use of the computer program (Google Earth, 2020), sources such as the guide for the design and operation of trails are consulted. Interpretive studies, photographs of the natural landscapes in the study area are taken, the locals are interviewed, a scheme with the route of the trail is drawn up and the information obtained is interpreted.
The results encourage and promote an environmental awareness to care for and protect native plants that are being threatened by anthropic activities that are taking place, such as the formation of micro-garbage dumps, the construction of roads and the agricultural industry.
