Dois Irmãos State Park

The Dois Irmãos State Park spans 1158 hectares of protected land, including a zoological garden that occupies 14 hectares within its boundaries.

The area originated in 1916 as a forest nursery on the grounds of an old sugar mill, transforming into a zoobotanical garden in 1939.

The park maintains an environmental education center named after Professor Vasconcelos Sobrinho, offering exhibitions and lectures about conservation practices.

The park entrance fee costs 2 Brazilian reais per person, with free admission for seniors over 60, children under one meter tall, and disabled visitors.

The park houses 430 animals, including 50 endangered species, and contains one of the largest remaining sections of Atlantic Forest in Pernambuco state.
