Ecological Trails
The Park has three ecological trails in dense forest: Ciliary Forest, Dense Woods, and Forest Restoration. Each trail has its travel time and is conducted with the accompaniment of an environmental educator, who leads a group of a maximum of 20 people.
Along the trail, visitors learn about botany and curiosities related to native fauna and flora. In addition, it is possible to visit the Trilha dos Sentidos (Sensory Trail), which was adapted to receive groups of people with disabilities and the elderly. Within it, visitors can stimulate the perception of the five senses: sight, touch, taste, smell and hearing.
Environmental Education Program
The Environmental Education Program is offered to students from municipal schools in the Itaqui Bacanga area, with support from the Municipal Department of Education. The objective is to develop participants' environmental awareness, leaving a legacy for future generations by promoting sustainable practices and encouraging changes in attitudes at school and in the community.
The program works in accordance with the pillars of UNESCO and the topics addressed are: Air, Water, Biodiversity, Energy and Waste. The Environmental Education Program, from its first edition, in 2012, to the last one, in 2021, managed to train 1,376 students from the Basic Education Units of the municipality who live on the Itaqui-Bacanga axis.
Environmental Education Program
The Sustainable Community Project aims to encourage and train people through Environmental Education, providing guidance on the reuse of materials that would otherwise be disposed and developing new skills.
In this way, it is possible to increase the possibility of generating income for the communities involved. The project also takes place through lectures, courses and sustainable workshops, according to the local reality, focusing on the re-use of the most generated waste in the region. For example: food, paper/cardboard, plastic, fabric and elements of nature.
Project Caravana nos Trilhos
This socio-environmental initiative takes actions on railroad safety, environmental education, health and entertainment for children, youth and adults from communities neighboring the Carajás Railroad, in the states of Maranhão and Pará.
Since its implementation in 2017, more than 56,000 residents of communities neighboring the Carajás railroad (EFC) have participated. The project is carried out through sustainable workshops, lectures, chat with train drivers and games about railroad safety. In addition, services are provided in the areas of health, recreation, competitions, distribution of snacks and others.
Action on the Passenger Train

Following the path São Luís x Açailândia | Açailândia x São Luís, the program is carried out throughout the train journey, making the experience more pleasant and educational for passengers. Among the activities carried out are: vegetable planting workshop, fabric tiara workshop, gift packaging workshop with milk carton, storytelling, skin painting, games, reading corner, among others.
