The climate is tropical, with temperatures ranging from 12 to 25 °C (54 to 77 °F) and annual rainfall of 1,800 to 2,000 millimetres (71 to 79 in).

The rain falls mostly in spring and summer, with a little rain in autumn and winter.

The terrain of the park is characterized by large hills and red sandstone cliffs ranging from 600 to 800 metres (2,000 to 2,600 ft) in height.

Visitor attractions include mountain peaks, waterfalls and caves.

Fauna include jaguar, pampas deer, howler monkey, tapir, giant anteater, giant armadillo, maned wolf, greater rhea (known as an ema) and seriema.

Parrots, swifts and red macaws nest in the sandstone cliffs.

The park is threatened by fire in the cold, dry and windy period of the year, often caused by human activities near or in the park.
Lightning does not seem to be an important cause, since it is usually followed by rain.
