The Sete Passagens State Park is in the municipality of Miguel Calmon, Bahia, with an estimated area of 2,821 hectares (6,970 acres).

It is an important source of water in a drought-prone area, with numerous springs that supply streams to contribute to the Itapicuru-Mirim River, a major tributary of the Itapicuru.

These include the Jajai, "S" Verde, Espirro, Coração, Sinvaldo, Bico do Urubu, Encontro das Águas, Cadeiras da Natureza, Tucano and Portal falls.

[1] There are no conflicts over land ownership and the park's staff is effective in monitoring the area, so it does not suffer from problems such as hunting, deforestation and agriculture.

However, farm owners pursue these activities in the immediate surroundings, and there is a constant threat of illegal mining, particularly of gold, around and within the park.
