Pacaás Novos National Park

The protected area encompasses 764,000 hectares of Western Amazon biome with mountains, rivers, and dense forest covering altitudes from 100 to 1,230 meters.

The Brazilian government established Pacaás Novos National Park through Decree No. 84,019 on September 21, 1979, to protect the transition between Cerrado and Amazon rainforest.

The territory holds strong connections to indigenous communities who maintained deep relationships with the land before the park's establishment.

Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade manages the park's activities, including scientific research, environmental education programs, and ecological tourism initiatives.

The park contains Monte Tracoá, which reaches 1,126 meters above sea level, making it the highest elevation point in the entire state of Rondônia.
