Today these areas are known as National Parks.<\/p>\n<p>However, it wasn't until 1908 that the government acquired 48,000 hectares of the estate of Henrique Irineu de Souza, son of the Viscount of Mau\u00e1, where part of the land was set aside for European settlements.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Before it became a park, it was a European colonization project!<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Then, in 1914, the European colonization project failed and the Itatiaia Forest Reserve was set up, on the initiative of Paulo Campos Porto, and in 1937 Get\u00falio Vargas created the Itatiaia National Park with its 12,000 hectares! Exactly 80 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The headquarters and current visitor center were built in 1942 and in 1982 the park gained another 18,000 hectares, making a total of 30,000!<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the Itatiaia National Park has been revitalizing its visitor center.
