Parque Nacional de Amazonia Description
Parque Nacional de Amazônia

The Amazonia National Park, north of the Rio Tapajós in the communes of Itaituba (Pará) and Maués (Amazonas), covers an area of 1,000,000 hectares/2,500,000 acres. At least 10% of the park has recently been destroyed by gold-prospectors.

The park lies some 370km/230mi south-west of Santarém. It is reached on a side road branching off the Transamazìnica which runs via Belterra to Alter da Chão; then from there by boat to Itaituba.
