Chandless State Park, State park in Acre, Brazil
Located in the Amazon biome, Chandless State Park spans 695,303 hectares across Manuel Urbano, Sena Madureira, and Santa Rosa do Purus municipalities.
The park bears the name of British explorer William Chandless, who conducted expeditions along the Purus River between 1864 and 1866.
The protected area forms a conservation mosaic alongside indigenous territories, establishing connections between Brazilian and Peruvian environmental preservation efforts.
Access requires either a flight from Rio Branco to the park headquarters or a boat journey through the Purus and Chandless rivers from Manuel Urbano.
The park contains extensive bamboo forests that serve as distribution centers for these plants throughout the southwestern Amazon region.
