Serra do Rio do Rastro, Mountain chain in Santa Catarina, Brazil.
The Serra do Rio do Rastro mountain range stretches across southeastern Santa Catarina, featuring 284 turns along its 34-kilometer road at elevations up to 1460 meters.
The construction of road SC-390 through Serra do Rio do Rastro began in 1903, connecting coastal regions to the higher altitude areas of Santa Catarina state.
The mountain range hosts regular agricultural festivals where local communities display products grown in the fertile valleys and celebrate regional traditions.
The mountain road requires careful driving attention, especially during winter months when temperatures can drop below zero and snow occasionally covers the higher sections.
From the observation deck at the summit, visitors can see the Atlantic Ocean 100 kilometers away while watching eagles and toucans soar through the mountain air.
