Campina do Encantado State Park

The Campina do Encantado State Park is in the municipality of Pariquera-Açu, São Paulo.

[1] Privately owned land within the present park boundaries was occupied decades ago, but since then the vegetation has completely regenerated.

The sea was higher when the mounds were formed, and there was an extensive network of lagoons in the area that reached its maximum extent about 5,100 year ago.

[2] The name "Campina do Encantado" (Enchanted Field) is due to the peat generating methane gas which can burn with a flame shooting from the ground up to 80 centimetres (31 in) high.

[1] The park has diverse fauna, including the endangered red-tailed amazon (Amazona brasiliensis).
