Created in 1937, the Itatiaia National Park is considered the 1st National Park of Brazil. Located in the Serra da Mantiqueira, the site includes the municipalities of Itatiaia and Resende in the State of Rio de Janeiro, as well as Bocaina de Minas and Itamonte in the State of Minas Gerais.
At its peak, Pico das Agulhas Negras, the area ranges between 600 and 2,791 meters, with a relief formed by mountains and several rocky elevations. In the region of the Itatiaia Plateau, or Upper Part, it is possible to find high-altitude fields, in addition to the suspended valleys, where many rivers begin.
Finally, in the Lower Part, it is possible to see impressive vegetation composed of waterways and a series of spaces where visitors can cool themselves off.
We developed the infrastructure of the Itatiaia National Park to promote maximum safety and convenience to tourists during their visits.
