São Bartolomeu Park, Nature reserve and sacred grove in Salvador, Brazil.
The 75-hectare park contains four waterfalls, mangroves, and Atlantic Forest remnants near the Copper River and its deactivated dam from 1932.
In 1823, the park area became a battlefield during the Battle of Pirajá, a key moment in Brazil's independence campaign.
The park serves as a religious site for different communities, featuring specific natural elements like waterfalls and stones associated with Nagô deities.
The park entrance is located at the Reference Center on Suburbana Avenue, with free parking available and collective guided trails starting at 9 AM.
The Copper River Dam, constructed in 1932 and deactivated in 2006, previously supplied 75 percent of water to Salvador's suburban area.
