Acari National Park

Acari National Park is a protected forest reserve in the Amazon region that spans across parts of three municipalities in central Amazonas. The landscape combines dense rainforest with river valleys and wetlands that support diverse plant and animal populations.

The Brazilian government created the park in 2016 as part of a broader strategy to establish protected areas across the Amazon region. This initiative was designed to safeguard critical forest ecosystems from deforestation and other threats.

The Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation manages this protected space, ensuring the preservation of natural resources within the Amazon biome.

Access to the park is difficult and requires advance coordination with park authorities and experienced local guides. Visitors should expect to invest significant time in planning their journey to this remote location.

The park protects four major river systems and their tributaries, representing one of the less explored regions within the Brazilian Amazon. These river valleys are especially important for aquatic habitats and species that depend on these water systems.
