Transport
 
The BR-174 road to the park's headquarters has ca. 6km long and can be done with a small car only during the dry period. During the rainy season (jun-set), it is recommended to use a car with 4 x 4 traction.
In case the researcher does not have his own driving, it is recommended to contact Antonio Lisboa (lisboa.ibama@gmail.com) to check the availability of an ICMBio car belonging to the Park to pick up the "researcher" at the Caracaraí bus station or at the entrance to the Lost Road.
