Jaraguá State Park, State park in São Paulo, Brazil

The Jaraguá State Park encompasses preserved Atlantic Forest areas and contains the highest peak in São Paulo municipality, reaching 1,135 meters in altitude.

The area witnessed gold mining activities from the 16th to 19th centuries until the State Government acquired the Jaraguá farm in 1940 and established the park in 1961.

The park received UNESCO World Heritage Site recognition in 1994, marking its importance for environmental education and natural resource protection in São Paulo metropolitan region.

Visitors can access multiple sports facilities, including skating rinks, multi-purpose courts, playgrounds, and hiking trails throughout the natural environment.

The geological formation features quartzite walls between 50 and 80 meters high above 1,050 meters elevation, creating distinct patterns visible on the eastern face.
