JAU NATIONAL PARK

The National Park of Jau is considered the largest area in the world of sheltered tropical forest, with an estimated coverage of 2,2 million hectares with great biodiversity. It protects the entire watershed of the Jaú River, one of the best examples of a blackwater ecosystem, where the water is coloured by acidic decomposing organic matter, and a large area of undisturbed dry tropical forest. The park protects both the hydrological basin of the river, and many of the species associated with the system in an area large enough to contain major ecological and biological processes such as wind-blows, floods and natural burns, providing large-scale opportunities to study their effect on the biodiversity of natural ecosystems.
It is possible to arrange your visit independently, permission from the IBAMA is required. Flyer boats travel from Novo Airão in 3 hours. Many travelers, however, rely on the services of tour operator based in Manaus, specialized in excursions to the Jau National Park: Amazingtoursagency.com
