Serra do Pardo National Park

Located between São Félix do Xingu and Altamira municipalities, Serra do Pardo National Park encompasses 445,408 hectares of protected natural landscapes along the Pardo River.

The area transformed from rubber extraction sites in the 1950s to a national park in 2005, managed by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation.

Scientists documented 265 bird species, 26 mammal species, and 500 plant species during research expeditions, contributing to biological knowledge of Brazilian ecosystems.

Temperatures in the park range from 20 to 40 degrees Celsius, with public access permitted for hiking and wildlife observation activities.

The protected area harbors endangered species like the Red-necked Aracari and maintains 95 percent of its original vegetation despite previous commercial activities.
