Caparaó National Park is a Brazilian national park created in 1961 to protect the Caparaó Mountains, located on the border between Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo states in Brazil. Pico da Bandeira, one of the highest mountains in Brazil, is located there. Its coordinates are 20°19’—20° 37’ S and 41°43’—41°53’ W.
It is clearly visible in this satellite photo (Google) as a dark green area.
The park is one of many to protect Mata Atlantica, the Atlantic Rain Forest.
