Utinga State Park, State park in Curió-Utinga, Belém, Brazil
Utinga State Park is a protected forest area featuring several lakes and various trails spread across the Belém region. The park extends through parts of two municipalities and offers views of different Amazon habitats.
The park was created in the 1990s as part of a program to protect the environment in the metropolitan region. It emerged from the need to preserve important forest areas and water systems in the growing urban area.
The park serves as a place where visitors learn about Amazon biomes through guided tours and educational programs. Local residents regularly use the space to explore their region's nature and discover more about the ecosystems around them.
The park is open on most days of the week and allows visitors to explore on foot or with rented bicycles. Visitors should plan for variable weather conditions typical of a tropical forest environment.
The protected area contains two major lakes that supply a significant portion of the water for the metropolitan population. These lakes form the heart of the reserve and are essential to the local water infrastructure.
