Parque Estadual do Itacolomi, State park in Ouro Preto and Mariana, Brazil.
The park spans 7,543 hectares with elevations ranging from 700 to 1,772 meters, featuring Atlantic Forest vegetation and rocky outcrops in higher regions.
The Bandeirista House within the park served as a fiscal post during the 18th-century gold exploration period in colonial Brazil.
The name Itacolomi derives from Tupi language, meaning 'stone child', as indigenous people perceived the peak as the offspring of the mother mountain.
The park welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 8 AM to 5 PM, with entrance fees of 20 Brazilian reais per person.
The park houses an endemic orchid species called Habenaria itaculumia, found exclusively within its boundaries.
