Amantikir Park
Amantikir Park or Amantikir Gardens (Portuguese: Parque Amantikir or Amantikir Jardins) is a park that includes a set of gardens and several points of interest. Located in the municipality of Campos do Jordão, 180 kilometres (110 mi) northeast of the Brazilian city of São Paulo, the park is visited by thousands of tourists annually.
The park was designed by the landscaper and agricultural engineer Walter Vasconcellos, known as Dr. Garden, and is home to more than 700 species of plants in 26 gardens across its 60,000 square metres (650,000 sq ft). In 2013, TripAdvisor certified Amantikir for the first time as the attractive No. 1 of Campos do Jordão, a position in which the park has maintained itself ever since.
The park and the city of Campos do Jordão are located in the Mantiqueira Mountains, a mountain range considered the 8th most "irreplaceable" protected natural formation on the planet, according to an article by the International Union for Conservation of Nature published in 2013 by Science Magazine.
