Grande Sertão Veredas National Park

Grande Sertão Veredas National Park, Protected natural area in eastern Minas Gerais and western Bahia, Brazil.

Grande Sertão Veredas National Park is a protected natural area in eastern Minas Gerais and western Bahia that encompasses diverse landscapes including forests, savannas, and streams. The park covers a large expanse across varying elevations, creating different ecological zones throughout its territory.

Grande Sertão Veredas National Park was created by decree nº 97.658 of 12 April 1989, and its boundaries were revised on 21 May 2004. It is administered by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio). The park was named after João Guimarães Rosa's novel Grande Sertão: Veredas, and one of its stated aims is to protect the streams and landscape described in that book.

The park takes its name from João Guimarães Rosa's novel, serving as the natural backdrop for this celebrated literary work. Visitors can sense this connection between the landscape and the story while exploring the area.

Visitors should plan their visits in advance, with the dry season being the best time for exploration. Access to the park is through the municipality of Chapada Gaúcha, so checking entry conditions beforehand helps ensure a smooth visit.

The park holds the largest protected area of cerrado vegetation in Brazil, with gallery forests along the rivers where buritis palms grow. Pacari, aroeira and yellow ipê trees are common, and the streams can widen into oxbow lakes.
