Why is the project called Itatiaia?

The Itatiaia National Park is the first national park in Brazil, created in June 1937. Located in the Serra da Mantiqueira, the park covers the municipalities of Itatiaia and Resende in the State of Rio de Janeiro and Bocaina de Minas and Itamonte in the State of Minas Gerais.

Within the park, one can find Atlantic Forest vegetation and various animal species, such as muriqui monkeys, toucans, and the southeastern fan palm. The region also features stunning waterfalls (like Véu da Noiva) and rocky peaks (such as Agulhas Negras).
