Tumucumaque Mountains National Park has an area of more than , making it the world's largest tropical forest
national park and larger than
Belgium. This area even reaches when including the bordering
Guiana Amazonian Park, a national park in
French Guiana. This combination of protected areas is still smaller than the three national parks system in the Brazil-Venezuelan border, where the
Parima-Tapirapeco,
Serranía de la Neblina and
Pico da Neblina national parks have a combined area of over . But the latter is certainly smaller if the Tumucumaque Mountains National Park (Brazil) and the adjacent Guiana Amazonian Park (France) is combined with large neighbouring protected areas in northern Pará, Brazil, such as
Grão-Pará Ecological Station,
Maicuru Biological Reserve, and many others. The importance is that this makes the Guiana Shield one of the best protected and largest ecological corridor of tropical rainforests in the world. It is an
uninhabited region and is of high ecological value: most of its animal species, mainly fish and aquatic birds, are not found in any other place in the world. It is a
habitat for
jaguars,
primates, aquatic
turtles, and
harpy eagles. The highest point of the Brazilian state of Amapá is located there, reaching 701 meters.
