Boa Nova National Park

Boa Nova is a nature reserve in Bahia that spans multiple municipalities with a total area of 12,065 hectares. The terrain varies between 440 and 1,111 meters in elevation and contains both mountain rainforests and lowland forests along with more than 400 bird species.

The Brazilian government established this protected area in 2010 to preserve the transition zone between the Atlantic Forest and Caatinga biomes. The creation marked an important step in protecting this boundary region between two ecologically different landscapes.

The park represents a crossroads between two major biomes and shapes how local communities live through its influence on water and climate. Visitors quickly notice how people in the region value their surroundings and depend on the natural resources that the forest provides.

The nearest airport is in Vitória da Conquista, roughly 110 kilometers away, or you can reach the park through road connections from other regional towns. Having your own transport helps most visitors explore the park well since it covers several municipalities.

The park is home to several bird species found nowhere else in the world and existing only in this region. Birdwatchers find this place particularly rewarding because of these natural rarities and the variety on display.
