Altamiro de Moura Pacheco State Park

Altamiro de Moura Pacheco State Park is a protected nature reserve in Goiás spanning multiple municipalities with seasonal forests and riparian woodlands. The terrain includes trails and viewpoints where visitors can observe native plant and animal species adapted to the region.

The protected area was established in 1992 through state legislation to safeguard the natural surroundings of an important water resource. Over time, portions of the original territory were modified for infrastructure development.

Archaeological discoveries within the park reveal previous settlements of Kayapó communities who practiced farming and produced ceramics, including funeral urns and ritual masks.

The park is open to visitors several days per week and offers both guided walks and independent exploration. It is best to arrive early in the morning and bring water along with appropriate footwear for trail walking.

Archaeological discoveries reveal that the region was inhabited by precolumbian communities long before its modern protection as a park. These findings suggest early settlements with established farming practices.
