Juruena National Park, Protected rainforest reserve in northern Mato Grosso and southern Amazonas, Brazil.

The 1.9 million hectare park spans dense tropical forests, open woodlands, and river systems across multiple elevation zones from 39 to 457 meters.

The Brazilian government established Juruena National Park in 2006 as part of the Amazon Region Protected Areas Programme to prevent agricultural expansion.

Indigenous Kayabi and Apiacás communities maintain their traditional ways of life within the protected territories of the national park.

Researchers and visitors require permits from the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation to enter and study the park's ecosystems.

The park contains 412 bird species, with 40 endemic to southern Amazonia, and numerous waterways including the São Tomé River basin.
