Mustangi, MEIKA A. 1992 Journal D Fazenda Intervales - SP Brazil 17 July (Fri) We left São Paulo heading for the Fazenda Intervales, a State reserve close to the border with the State of Paraná. We are: Nicoletta Moracchiole, Maia Victoria F. Thompson, and myself. From São Paulo to Intervales one takes, Rodovia Castelo Branco (SP 280) and turns on SP-127 (or 129), which is the exit to Tatuí/Itapetininga. SP 127 links Sorocaba and Capão Bonito. From Capão Bonito there is a paved road to Ribeirão Grande, and then a 25km stretch of, unpaved road to the headquarters of Intervales. The whole drive takes about 4 hours. Fazenda Intervales is managed by the Fundação Florestal and activities in the reserve include research and ecotourism. It has an area of 38 000 ha and links 3 other parks: Parque Estadual Turístico do Alto Ribeira (PETAR), Parque Estadual de Carlos Botelho, and Reserva Estadual do Xitue, summing up to 120,000 ha. A car brought Jair Paiva (monitor) and myself to the Carmo Station. Nicoletta and M. Victoria stayed at the headquarters. The Carmo Station is 10km away, in an area of primary growth forest. There is a group of 25 Brachyteles arachnoides, here. This station is reserved for researchers only. Tourists may stay at the head- quarters, at Barra Grande, or at Saibadela. Beside, the road, there are 3 trails: Carmo Acima (parallels the Carmo River, 3 km long); Figueira (4 km); and
