The Pedra Selada State Park lies in the municipalities of Resende and Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro.

The park provides opportunities for visitors to use the area for recreation, education and research, and contributes to the rural economy in tourism-related businesses.

[1] The park is named after the Pedra Selada (Stone Saddle), which is 1,755 metres (5,758 ft) high.

The state park forms part of an important ecological corridor with the Itatiaia National Park and other nearby public and private conservation units, which protects the source of rivers feeding some of the main rivers of the southeast – the Paraná and Paraíba do Sul – and contributes to preserving the mountain chain in which the Pedra Selada is located.

The objective is to preserve populations of native plants and animals, and to provide refuges for migratory species.
