Mãe Bonifácia State Park, Protected area and ecological reserve in Duque de Caxias, Cuiabá, Brazil.
Mãe Bonifácia State Park is an ecological reserve in Cuiabá with trails, exercise equipment, and designated areas for observing native animals and plants. The grounds offer various walking routes for different fitness levels and recreational spaces.
The protected area was established in December 2000 and named after a black healer who assisted escaping slaves. A monument on the grounds commemorates her historical role in the region.
The park honors a historical healer through a monument and attracts many school groups that learn about the local environment here. Visitors regularly encounter groups using the grounds for environmental education.
The grounds are open daily from early morning until sunset and entry is free for all visitors. Weekends tend to get crowded, so weekday visits are more peaceful.
A lookout point allows visitors to see across the entire city, while one of the longer trails winds through natural landscapes into remote corners of the park. These two spots offer very different ways to experience the grounds.
