Parque Nacional in Brasilia
Brasília National Park – Mineral Water has two swimming pools of running mineral water which are the main attractions of Parque Nacional de Brasília, better known as Água Mineral. Soon after the inauguration of Brasília, an agreement between the Ministry of Agriculture and Companhia Urbanizadora da Nova Capital (Novacap) allowed for the creation of a nursery, where today part of Parque Nacional is, dedicated to the city’s afforestation. The area grew and gave place to the 30 thousand hectares federal unity of conservation, administered by Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio). Among the park’s attractions are two hiking trails. The shortest one, called Capivara, can be covered in 20 minutes. The Cristal d’água trail is the longest one, taking around 1 hour. The park also has a visitors’ center and animals of several species that live in the woods. Location: Estrada Parque Indústria e Abastecimento- Brasília’s North exit. Visiting hours: Daily, from 8:00 am to 4 pm. Ticket: R$ 8.00. Phone: +55 (61) 3465.2016 http://www.brasil.gov.br/brasilia-english/tourist-guide/ecotourism/brasilia-national-park-2013-mineral-water
