São Domingos mountain range, Protected mountain range in Poços de Caldas, Brazil.

The São Domingos mountain range forms a circular volcanic structure reaching 1,686 meters in elevation within the Poços de Caldas plateau at 1,300 meters.

Between the 18th and early 20th centuries, this mountain range was central to territorial disputes between Minas Gerais and São Paulo states until final demarcation in 1936.

The Minas Gerais State Heritage Institute designated São Domingos mountain range as a protected cultural landmark in 1989, recognizing its natural and historical value.

The mountain area requires approval from IEPHA-MG for any modifications, ensuring protection of rock formations, terrain features, and water sources in the region.

The mountain formation contains natural springs that supply the thermal water system of Poços de Caldas, contributing to the region's hydrological resources.
