Floresta Nacional de Ipanema, National forest in Bacaetava, Brazil
The Ipanema National Forest extends over 5,385 hectares of Atlantic Forest ecosystem, containing numerous trails through dense vegetation and mineral-rich terrain.
The forest area gained prominence in 1589 when Afonso Sardinha established two forges, marking the first iron manufacturing attempt in the Americas.
The forest houses the National Biodiversity Academy, which conducts research programs and educational activities about Brazilian natural heritage preservation.
The visitor center provides guided tour information, trail maps, and schedules for educational activities throughout the protected natural area.
The Araçoiaba Hill within the forest contains volcanic formations with high concentrations of magnetite, supporting specific mineral-dependent plant species.
