Albert Löfgren State Park, Sacred grove in northern São Paulo, Brazil.

The Albert Löfgren State Park extends across 174 hectares of land, connecting with Cantareira State Park and featuring diverse native and exotic vegetation.

Swedish naturalist Albert Löfgren established this botanical garden in 1896, leading the Forest Service development that evolved into the Forest Institute of São Paulo.

The Octavio Vecchi Museum holds Latin America's largest wood collection, displaying samples with engravings of corresponding leaves and fruits since 1931.

The park welcomes visitors daily from 6 AM to 6 PM, providing sports courts, exercise equipment, jogging tracks, and designated areas for picnics.

A monument marking the Tropic of Capricorn stands within the park grounds, where Brazilian squirrels and robust capuchin monkeys roam freely.
