Brasilia National Park was opened in 1961 with the special purpose of protecting the capital's flora and fauna. One of its main attractions is the huge lake, which is constantly fed by the mineral water flowing from the nearby river. A number of bird and mammal species that originate in the Amazon can be seen such as deer, monkeys, and others. It is a great park to relax and spend quality time with family and friends enjoying the fresh air and scenery.
