Pacaás Novos National Park, National park in Rondônia, Brazil
Pacaás Novos National Park protects 764,000 hectares of Western Amazon forest with mountains, rivers, and vegetation spanning elevations from 100 to 1,230 meters. The terrain displays a transition between different ecosystems and contains diverse habitats for wildlife.
Brazil established this protected area in 1979 to safeguard the border region between Cerrado grassland and Amazon rainforest. This creation was part of broader efforts to preserve threatened ecosystems in the country.
Indigenous peoples have long inhabited this territory and developed profound knowledge of its forests and resources. Their presence continues to shape how this land is valued and protected today.
The managing agency facilitates scientific research, environmental education, and ecological tourism activities throughout the park. Visitors should expect challenging conditions and consider joining official programs or hiring local guides.
Monte Tracoá reaches 1,126 meters and stands as the highest point in the entire state of Rondônia. This peak draws visitors who wish to experience the landscape from a dramatically different vantage point.
