About Anavilhanas National Park

Anavilhanas National Park is a remarkable area in Brazil's Amazon rainforest known for its intricate archipelago system and rich biodiversity, offering unique opportunities for wildlife observation and ecotourism.

Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage

Anavilhanas National Park, located in the state of Amazonas in Brazil, is one of the largest river archipelagos in the world, consisting of over 400 islands scattered along the Rio Negro. This national park is renowned for its dynamic ecological system that changes with the river's seasonal flooding. Home to a diverse array of wildlife, including pink river dolphins, jaguars, and various species of birds, the park offers visitors a rare glimpse into the dense, untamed Amazon rainforest. The park plays a crucial role in protecting the Amazon's remaining wilderness and serves as a hub for ecological research and environmental education. With no established trails, the focus here is on boat tours and guided excursions that allow visitors to experience fishing, bird watching, and sleeping overnight in traditional river lodges, immersing them in the region's natural beauty and isolated tranquility.
