Natividade da Serra, Municipality in Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte, Brazil
Natividade da Serra is a municipality in the Vale do Paraíba e Litoral Norte region, situated in hilly terrain with dense forests and natural landscapes. The town sits among mountains and green areas that shape its rural character.
The settlement was founded in 1853 and experienced major upheaval when dam construction in the 1970s forced the original town to be abandoned. The community had to relocate and rebuild itself in a new location.
The town's name changed from Divino Espírito Santo de Nossa Senhora do Rio do Peixe to Natividade when it merged with Nossa Senhora da Conceição settlement in 1863.
The location sits in hilly terrain and is accessible by local roads winding through natural landscapes. Visitors should expect a rural setting with basic services rather than urban facilities.
The construction of Paraibuna dam in 1973 led to flooding the old town, requiring the complete relocation and rebuilding of Natividade da Serra.
