The park is located within the Capivari-Monos Environmental Protection Area, the first of its kind in the municipality of São Paulo.
The Marsilac Waterfall is formed by the Capivari River, which flows through a region of high biodiversity in the southern Atlantic Forest.
The area is part of the 'Cratera de Colônia', a geological site formed by a meteorite impact millions of years ago.
The park's location is considered the 'green belt' of São Paulo, acting as a critical buffer zone for water supply protection.
