Serra da Bocaina National Park
Serra da Bocaina National Park, National park between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states, Brazil
Serra da Bocaina National Park extends across 104,000 hectares of Atlantic Forest, featuring mountains, waterfalls, and diverse plant and animal species.
The park gained official national park status in 1971 following federal initiatives to protect significant portions of Brazil's remaining Atlantic Forest biodiversity.
The region surrounding the park maintains traditions from the 19th-century coffee cultivation period, with local communities preserving agricultural practices.
Visitors enter through São José do Barreiro, where the park headquarters provides information about hiking trails and wildlife observation opportunities.
The park contains Pico do Tira o Chapéu, reaching 2,088 meters above sea level, marking one of the highest elevations in São Paulo state.
