Patriarca, Ancient tree in Vassununga State Park, Brazil.
The Patriarca tree rises 40 meters high within the Atlantic Forest section of Vassununga State Park, displaying its massive 3.6-meter diameter trunk.
Dating back to approximately 1437, this jequitibá-rosa tree stands as one of the oldest living organisms in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest region.
Local communities in Santa Rita do Passa Quatro traditionally used the bark of jequitibá-rosa trees like Patriarca for medicinal treatments and crafting materials.
Visitors can observe this remarkable tree during park hours from 8 AM to 5 PM, with access through marked trails in Vassununga State Park.
