Jau National Park
Jaú National Park ("Parque Nacional do Jaú" in Portuguese) is the largest forest reserve in South America, covering an area greater than 5.6 million acres. The park is located in Amazonas, Brazil.
The park is approximately 137 miles from Manaus. The park is bordered by rivers: the Rio Negro, the Rio Jaú, the Rio Carabinani and the Rio Unini.
In an effort to protect the fauna and wildlife, entry into the park is restricted. Express permission from the Brazilian government is required to enter the reserve.
The park is a good example of tropical rainforest conservation taking place in parts of the Amazon basin.
