Pico da Neblina National Park is a national park in the north of Brazil. It was created in 1979, and it is one of the biggest Brazilian national parks, with 22,200 km². The park was named after one of its mountains, the country's highest elevation at 3014 m, the Pico da Neblina, and is covered by dense or open Amazonian Rain Forest, although some different vegetations, associated to high altitudes, can be also found in the area. The Wildlife is very diversified, with some peculiar species, like the Black-headed Uakari and the Cock-of-the-rock.
The park is also part of the Yanomami Territory and, therefore, it's not open to visit.
