About

This 160,000-ha park is extremely rich in species of animals and plants. The waterfalls that stand out are São Romão and Cachoeira da Prata. São Romão has the largest volume of water in the region. These waterfalls are difficult to reach: doing so requires the help of local guides and 4x4 trucks. Other attractions are trekking to Morro das Figuras (with cave inscriptions) and ecological trails, such as Morro do Chapéu.

Chapada das Mesas National Park is a national park in the state of Maranhão, Brazil. It was created to preserve the untouched cerrado vegetation of the region, and as a barrier against the advance of farming.
