Aguapeí State Park, State park in northwestern São Paulo, Brazil
Aguapeí State Park is a protected natural area in northwestern São Paulo with seasonal semi-deciduous forest and floodplain vegetation. The grounds display various forest types that show the diversity of plant life found in this region.
The park was created in 1998 as environmental compensation for building the Porto Primavera Hydroelectric Plant. This establishment marked an important step in protecting the natural forests of the region.
The park takes its name from the Aguapeí River, which flows through its grounds and shapes how the landscape is organized. Visitors can observe how water and forest connect to support the living systems you encounter here.
Access to the grounds is by way of SP-563 highway, which runs through western São Paulo and provides direct entry. Visitors need to secure advance authorization from park administration before arriving.
The park provides critical habitat for the Pantanal deer, an endangered animal that has few populations left in São Paulo state. These deer are difficult to spot, but their presence demonstrates the park's importance for protecting rare species.
