Serra do Divisor National Park

Serra do Divisor National Park is a protected area along the Brazil-Peru border in Acre state, featuring forested mountains and hills.The terrain is crisscrossed by rivers and valleys, creating diverse habitats that support a wide range of wildlife throughout the region.

The area gained official protection status in 1989 to safeguard the natural ecosystems of western Brazil.This designation recognized the region as exceptionally valuable for preserving nature and the communities that depend on it.

Indigenous groups have lived in these forests for generations, maintaining their traditional ways of life within the park boundaries.Visitors who travel through the area can observe how these communities interact with the forest and use its resources sustainably.

The park is best reached by boat on the Moa or Jurua rivers, departing from the city of Cruzeiro do Sul.Visitors should prepare for long journeys and prefer the drier months when water levels are lower and conditions more stable.

The park harbors over 400 bird species and rare mammals found nowhere else in Brazil.This exceptional wildlife makes the area a site of international importance for understanding tropical nature.
