Jamanxim National Park, Protected rainforest reserve in Pará, Brazil
Jamanxim National Park is a large rainforest reserve in Pará spanning across three municipalities with flat terrain and river networks. The landscape consists of continuous forest with waterways that are essential to its ecology.
The park was created in 2006 by the Brazilian government to protect forest areas from deforestation and mining. Its establishment was part of broader efforts to preserve Amazon regions as protected conservation areas.
Indigenous groups live within the park and practice sustainable forest management methods passed down through generations. Their presence shapes how the forest is used and protected today.
Access is typically arranged through the nearby city of Itaituba, where local guides and tour operators can be contacted. The tropical climate brings heavy rainfall and high humidity, so visitors should prepare for wet conditions and bring appropriate gear.
The park protects rare tree species including the Brazil nut tree, known for its large nutritious seeds. These trees grow naturally throughout the forest and are important both for local livelihoods and wildlife.
