Serra de Santa Bárbara State Park

Serra de Santa Bárbara State Park is a large protected area in Mato Grosso that extends across two municipalities and encompasses diverse regional ecosystems. Two highways mark its borders and provide access to different parts of the park.

The park was established in 1997 as a conservation effort to protect the region's natural ecosystems and biodiversity. This action represented an important step toward preserving the landscape of Mato Grosso.

The area contains archaeological sites where visitors can find traces of pre-colonial settlements from centuries past. These locations tell the story of communities that inhabited this region long before the park was established.

The park can be reached via two main highways that run along its borders and provide various entry points. Visitors should check ahead about which areas are accessible and what facilities are available on site.

The park contains the highest elevation in the state, a mountain that rises above 1,000 meters. This distinctive geographic feature makes the area stand out as a notable landmark in the region's landscape.
