Brasília National Park, National park in Federal District, Brazil

This 423 square kilometer protected area contains diverse Cerrado vegetation, springs, creeks, and numerous caves formed within quartzite and limestone formations.

The Brazilian government established Brasília National Park in 1961 through a federal decree to safeguard the forests surrounding the newly built capital city.

Environmental education programs at the park teach visitors about conservation methods and the importance of preserving Brazil's native Cerrado ecosystem.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, swimming areas, and observation points while exploring the park's natural landscapes throughout the year.

The park houses rare wildlife species including maned wolves, pampas deer, giant anteaters, black-tufted marmosets, and numerous tropical bird varieties.
