Cantareira State Park, State park in São Paulo, Brazil
The Cantareira State Park spans 7,916 hectares of Atlantic Forest, forming the largest urban forest area in São Paulo metropolitan region.
The Serra da Cantareira received its name from 16th-century traders who stored water in ceramic vessels called cântaros on shelves known as cantareiras.
The park features four distinct visitor centers, each offering educational programs about Atlantic Forest conservation and local wildlife protection initiatives.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails across four sections: Pedra Grande, Águas Claras, Engordador, and Cabuçu, each with different difficulty levels.
The park houses endangered species including ocelots, brown howler monkeys, solitary tinamou birds, and rare tree species like imbuia and black cinnamon.
