Passa Quatro National Forest, National forest in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The protected area spans 335 hectares of Atlantic Forest, including native trees, Araucaria angustifolia plantations, and eucalyptus groves at various elevations.

The forest gained national protection status through federal ordinance 562 on October 25, 1968, under the initial management of Instituto Nacional do Pinho.

The forest maintains a plant nursery and research facilities where scientists study sustainable methods for native forest management and resource conservation.

Visitors can access the Iporã Waterfall, two ornamental lakes, gardens, gazebos, and a playground equipped with drinking water fountains throughout the grounds.

The forest houses protected species such as maned wolves, ocelots, and cougars within its boundaries as part of the Serra da Mantiqueira Ecological Corridor.
