Brasilia National Park

The Brasilia National Park extends over 30 thousand hectares. It is known by locals as "Agua Mineral" (Mineral Water) - due to its springs and pools of running water formed out of water pools that emerge from the margins of the Acampamento Stream. Besides its natural pools, there are also two trails: the Capivara Trail...and the Cristal Agua Trail... On calmer days, it is possible to see specimen from the local fauna, such as armadillos, monkeys, and "capybaras" (a local large rodent mammal). The park is open all through the year, but its best season is between May and October. It is open from 8 am to 4 pm, and a fee is charged to visit.  It is located on Via EPIA BR-040, Urban Military Sector, 9th km. For ticket price and other information: + 55 (061) 465-2016.
