Araguaia National Park (officially Parque Nacional do Araguaia) is a protected natural and cultural area in the North region of Brazil. The park provides habitat for wildlife and occupies the northern third of Bananal Island, the second largest river island in the world. The southern two-thirds of the island is reserved for indigenous populations only. Four indigenous cultures live on the island in any of 16 indigenous villages. It is a Ramsar wetland.
The park is remote and fairly difficult to reach. It is best done with the help of a local guide.
