Anavilhanas National Park

The park contains an archipelago of 400 islands within the Rio Negro, featuring diverse ecosystems of flooded forests and riverine environments across 350,470 hectares.

The protected area started as an ecological station in 1981 before receiving national park status in 2008, joining the Central Amazon Conservation Complex.

The Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade manages conservation programs that integrate scientific research with traditional ecological knowledge of the Amazon region.

Visitors can access guided tours from Novo Airão, located 130 kilometers from the park, where local operators provide boat excursions through the river channels.

The water level in the park fluctuates by 10 meters between seasons, transforming the landscape and creating specialized habitats for species like pink dolphins and giant otters.
