Campos do Jordão State Park

The 8,341-hectare reserve contains sections of Atlantic Forest, including Araucaria forests, alpine meadows, and cloud forests at elevations between 1,030 and 2,007 meters.

Established in 1941 as the first conservation unit in São Paulo state, the park initially followed a reforestation policy introducing non-native conifers across extensive areas.

The park maintains a visitor center featuring local craft shops, a chapel, and educational displays about the regional flora and fauna of the Mantiqueira mountain range.

Visitors can access the park daily from 9:00 to 18:00, with entrance fees of 16 Brazilian reais, and explore multiple trails leading to waterfalls and panoramic viewpoints.

The protected area harbors 186 bird species, including endangered wildlife such as cougars, ocelots, and vinaceous-breasted amazons in their natural mountain habitat.
