Tumucumaque National Park

Tumucumaque National Park is a protected forest reserve in Brazil's Amazon region spanning across Amapá and Pará states. The land is covered in thick tropical forest with many rivers running through it, creating a water-rich landscape.

The park was established in 2002 by the Brazilian government as a protected area for conservation. This creation was part of a broader effort to safeguard the Amazon rainforest for the future.

Indigenous groups inhabit the borderlands and continue their ancestral ways of life within the region. Visitors can learn about their deep connection to the forest and observe how they coexist with the natural environment.

The park is best explored by boat, as rivers form the main routes through the territory. Visitors should prepare for humid, hot conditions and plan to travel with experienced guides familiar with the area.

The park forms a transnational conservation area with French Guiana's protected forest park across the shared border. This cross-border connection creates one of the world's largest continuous protected rainforest regions.
