Ubajara National Park, National park in Ceará, Brazil
The park contains caves, waterfalls, and mountains within 6,299 hectares of protected land across three municipalities: Ubajara, Tianguá, and Frecheirinha.
President Juscelino Kubitschek established Ubajara National Park on April 30, 1959, following recommendations from Dr. David Azambuja regarding its geological formations.
The name derives from indigenous language interpretations meaning either 'Lord of the Canoe' or 'Lord of the Arrows' in reference to local traditions.
Visitors need advance arrangements through Ibama for guided tours, with February to June offering the most favorable conditions for exploration.
A chairlift system provides access to the Ubajara Grotto, where calcium formations have developed over thousands of years into intricate mineral structures.
