Serra Ricardo Franco State Park, State park in Mato Grosso, Brazil

Serra Ricardo Franco State Park spans 158,621 hectares across a plateau marking the transition between cerrado grasslands and Amazon rainforest ecosystems.

The Brazilian government established Serra Ricardo Franco State Park through decree 1.796 on November 4, 1997 to protect natural resources and water systems.

The park borders Bolivia's Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, creating an international conservation zone that preserves diverse South American ecosystems.

Visitors can access the Namorados waterfall circuit, while the remainder of the park requires specific permits due to ongoing conservation management efforts.

The park contains the Jatobá waterfall, which drops 248 meters, making it the highest waterfall in the state of Mato Grosso.
