Serra do Cipó National Park

Serra do Cipó National Park spans over 31,639 hectares of land, featuring mountains, valleys, rivers, waterfalls, and diverse vegetation within the Cerrado biome.

The Brazilian government established Serra do Cipó National Park in 1984 through decree 90.223, with subsequent modifications made by decree 94.984 in 1987.

The park extends across six municipalities in Minas Gerais, where local communities maintain traditional practices while supporting environmental preservation efforts.

Visitors can access multiple entry points throughout the park, which offers hiking trails, camping facilities, and designated areas for birdwatching and photography.

The park houses numerous endemic species, including the white-necked hawk, Cipo canastero, Placosoma cipoense lizard, and Characidium lagosantense fish.
