Urubici
a cidade e seus pontos turísticos
O município de Urubici está situado a partir dos contrafortes da Serra Geral, no planalto sul catarinense, localizado no Vale do Rio Canoas e Rio Pelotas, na microrregião dos Campos de Lages (figura abaixo), possuindo como regiões limítrofes as microrregiões de Curitibanos, de Rio do Sul, de Ituporanga, do Tabuleiro, de Tubarão, de Criciúma, além do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Tal localização lhe confere características naturais de matas de araucárias centenárias, além de apresentar a presença de imbuias e canelas, permitindo uma flora e uma fauna ricas, diversificadas e de rara beleza. A Pousada Valle do Avencal entende o turismo como uma prática que se relaciona em perfeita harmonia com o espaço natural na medida em que usufrui deste sem acarretar quaisquer danos. Dentro da perspectiva da atividade de ecoturismo, enxergamos o somatório do negócio com o conceito de sustentabilidade, com a própria natureza, com a cultura local e com o conceito de conservação em comunhão com o de desenvolvimento.
Saiba maisUrubici possui como elementos de sua economia a produção de hortaliças, o cultivo de maçã das espécies gala e fuji, a piscicultura, especialmente a produção de trutas e, sobretudo, o turismo. Ao analisarmos os componentes sensoriais das imagens da paisagem natural do município de Urubici, as formas das araucárias se destacam, assim como os recortes dos cânions e do vale, o cheiro dos pomares de maçãs, as cores dos cultivos de maçã e hortaliças, das flores e da vegetação, os sons do vento, a baixa temperatura de serra, a atmosfera de umidade e de neblina, bem como o fenômeno da viração que rapidamente encobre a paisagem, lhe dando um especial aspecto de mistério.
A diversidade do relevo fez de Urubici, “pássaro brilhante” no idioma xokleng, um dos paraísos do turismo de aventura no país. Programas do gênero não faltam. Pode-se fazer descida de rapel nas cachoeiras e paredões, canoagem em um dos rios da região – há dezenas deles -, cavalgadas por caminhos deslumbrantes e caminhadas por trilhas com variados graus de dificuldade.
Lugar para saltos de asa delta e parapente também não faltam. Outra modalidade muito comum no país, o arvorismo – travessia por trilhas suspensas interligando as copas das árvores -, já pode ser praticada na cidade. O cenário para liberar a adrenalina não poderia ser mais encantador – afinal, não é por acaso que Urubici ganhou o merecido apelido de “Terra de Tesouros”.
A cidade é conhecida por sua natureza exuberante, que se mantém preservada, pelas matas de araucárias, por abrigar no Parque Nacional de São Joaquim o ponto mais alto do sul do Brasil, o Morro da Igreja (Pedra Furada) com uma altitude de 1822m (figura abaixo), além de cachoeiras e cascatas como a do Avencal e a Véu de Noiva – duas entre nada menos que 82 quedas de água catalogadas no território do município. Uma vantagem de Urubici é que boa parte das atrações está na mesma direção, entre os 30 km que ligam o centro da cidade à lendária Serra do Corvo Branco. É um passeio imperdível, cujo encanto não está apenas nas belezas da natureza, mas no contato próximo com os costumes do morador local.
Vários outros passeios podem ser feitos, cujos trajetos são bem sinalizados e não devem deixar de serem visitados, como, por exemplo, as atrações listadas abaixo. O turista ainda tem a opção de contratar um guia local para auxiliá-lo nessas respectivas atrações:
