Mananciais de Campos do Jordão State Park

Mananciais de Campos do Jordão State Park is a protected forest area at high altitude in São Paulo state, consisting of elevated Atlantic Forest and native pine woodland. The region contains extensive green areas with a reservoir that also serves as an important water source for the surrounding municipality.

The protected area was established in the 1940s when São Paulo state acquired land to preserve the forests and water sources of the region. This early decision helped protect the native ecosystems from destruction through settlement and exploitation.

The park is an important place for bird watching, as rare and colorful species live within the dense forests here. Visitors can spot various bird species moving through the tall tree canopy and along woodland trails.

The area is accessible by hiking trails that run through different forest types and offer varying difficulty levels. Visitors should wear good footwear and be prepared for changeable weather at high altitude.

The area is home to more than 170 different bird species, making it a hotspot for bird enthusiasts. Some of these species are rare and found only in this region.
