Goytacazes National Forest, National forest in Linhares, Brazil.

The Goytacazes National Forest spans 1,424 hectares along the Doce River, featuring diverse flora and fauna within the Atlantic Forest ecosystem.

The Brazilian government established this protected area on November 28, 2002, to safeguard natural resources and support environmental conservation initiatives.

The forest serves as a research center for scientists studying mosquito species and their impact on public health in the Atlantic Forest region.

Visitors can access the forest through the Alaesse Fiorot municipal road, with the city of Linhares functioning as the main entry point.

The forest developed on alluvial soil dating from the last marine recession of the Holocene period, creating specific conditions for local biodiversity.
