Amazônia National Park, National park in Pará and Amazonas, Brazil
The park extends over 8,600 square kilometers along the Tapajós River, featuring dense lowland rainforest and white-sand grassland sections.
The Brazilian government established Amazônia National Park through federal decree 73.683 on February 19, 1974, to protect the regional biodiversity.
The Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade manages this protected area, maintaining research facilities and educational programs about rainforest preservation.
Visitors must obtain permits from IBAMA in Itaituba before entering the park, which is accessible through a combination of flights to Santarem and boat transportation.
The park contains trees reaching 50 meters in height, creating a canopy that filters sunlight and supports diverse populations of vines, lichens, and orchids.
