Araguaia National Park, Nature reserve on Bananal Island, Brazil.

The Araguaia National Park spans 5,577 square kilometers across Tocantins state, featuring flat terrains between 200 and 240 meters above sea level.

The Brazilian government established Araguaia National Park through federal decree number 45,570 on December 31, 1959, marking a milestone in environmental protection.

The southern and central regions of Bananal Island serve as protected areas for indigenous communities, covering 13,584 square kilometers of preserved land.

An airstrip within the park boundaries enables access for research teams and visitors, while trails provide opportunities to explore diverse landscapes.

The park contains numerous lakes that function as nurseries for fish species, supporting a population of jaguars that demonstrate exceptional swimming abilities.
