Brazil is an amazingly biodiverse country that's famous for its rainforests and tropical wetlands, particularly the Amazon river basin. Brazil established its first national parks in the 1930s and today has more than 70 protected natural areas that are part of its national parks system, but less than 30 of these parks welcome tourists or have tourist infrastructure in place. Some parks, including some indigenous reserves are completely closed to tourists.
UnderstandThe goal of Brazil's national parks to preserve ecosystems of great ecological importance and scenic beauty, and to support scientific research, education, environmental interpretation, recreation and eco-tourism.
