LET'S CARE FOR THE PARK
LEAVE NO WASTE
Everything you bring must leave with you: bottles, plastics, paper and even organic waste. A plastic bottle can take more than 450 years to decompose.
STAY ON THE TRAILS
Trails reduce the impact on vegetation and fragile ecosystems, help prevent soil erosion and make the journey safer.
RESPECT FLORA AND FAUNA
Observing nature is part of the experience, but feeding animals can harm them, while picking plants affects regeneration and disrupts habitats, putting biodiversity at risk.
DO NOT SWIM IN THE LAKES
Swimming can alter water quality and upset the natural balance. These are highly sensitive ecosystems and a source of water for communities, wildlife and ecosystems downstream.
CAMP ONLY WHERE PERMITTED
Permitted areas are designed to minimise the impact on vegetation and reduce the risk of fires.
