Terra Encantada, Amusement park in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The park covered 200 square kilometers of land, featuring roller coasters, water rides, and various entertainment zones across different themed sections.

Terra Encantada operated from January 1998 until June 2010, when a fatal accident involving a 61-year-old visitor led to its permanent closure.

The park incorporated sections dedicated to Brazilian heritage, including Indigenous Land, African Land, and European influences throughout its themed areas.

Investigations conducted in 2009 revealed numerous structural and mechanical issues across multiple attractions, resulting in safety concerns for visitors.

The Monte Makaya roller coaster held a world record for four years with its eight consecutive loops, until surpassed by Colossus at Thorpe Park.
