Viruá National Park, National park in Caracaraí, Brazil.
This protected area spans 241,948 hectares of sandy plains and forests along the Branco River in the state of Roraima.
The Brazilian government established Viruá National Park on April 29, 1998, to protect the diverse Campinaranas ecological region of the Rio Negro basin.
The park serves as a scientific research center for studying plant species, with more than 2,000 documented varieties within its boundaries.
The Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation manages the park, maintaining trails and providing access for researchers and visitors.
The park contains a complex system of blackwater rivers with minimal sediment content, creating distinct ecosystems during seasonal flooding periods.
