We had a 4-night stay at a Pousada just outside the park. Unfortunately we were not able to stay at Pousada de Gloria so it sounds like we really missed out! Camping would have been a viable option as the camp ground looked very pleasant. We were driven there by our excellent tour company Gasparetour which is based in Cuiaba. In turn they arranged for Nelio Carrijo to be our local guide. It was well worth employing him as he loves the Park and knew where best to see the giant anteater and armadillo. He also had with him at all times a box of treats for celebrations! Our only mild concern was that, in his enthusiasm, he did get a bit too close to the giant anteater. The Gasparetour guides are more careful & ultimately get you better photography opportunities. That said Nelio is a lovely man & has excellent wildlife knowledge & excellent relations with the park's staff. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. EMAS is a very special park, full of blue & yellow macaws, boring owls & 'flickers' woodpeckers. The bioluminescence was enchanting and the overall experience, far away from the crowds, something to treasure. Shhh! It's our secret!

This is IMO the best park that Goiania has. You will find monkeys, parrots, birds, ducks and goose. Monkeys are roaming around the bamboo trees while the ducks you will find of course on the lake that covers an important part of the park. It's a great park for running and there are also a lot of shady places if you want to hide from the torrid sun. At every entrance you will find a guy selling coconut water or normal water for the thirsty visitors. Enjoy!

Nice large, well kept park in the center of town. The trees were in bloom and stunning to look at. My family and I took time out to relax and people watch on the grass. Park appears to be visitor friendly during the day.

You need to enter by a restrict area (paying a small fee) and then park your car. With a 500meters walk (good trail, with stones in the ground) you reach a small sand beach in front of the waterfall. The water is refreshing, the view is nice and it’s a safe place too (2 lifeguards). The people ate most families, couples and small groups of friends. Has a snack bar close the waterfall (snacks, beer, water, sodas, etc). The entire place is cool and deserve a visit. Don’t miss a small gazebo wood in the trail, you can ger good photos over there. And you can get a good one over the wood bridge too.
