Guaricana National Park, National park in Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, Brazil.

The protected area spans 49,286 hectares across mountainous terrain, with elevations ranging from 100 to 1,680 meters above sea level.

The Brazilian government established Guaricana National Park through a presidential decree on October 13, 2014, to protect remnants of dense tropical forests.

The Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation manages the park, implementing strategies to balance environmental protection with scientific research opportunities.

Visitors can access the park by taking a two-hour drive from Curitiba, with the dry season between May and September offering better conditions.

The park contains sections of both mixed rainforest with Araucaria trees and dense Atlantic rainforest, creating distinct ecological zones at different elevations.
