Itatiaia, Mountain municipality in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Situated in the Mantiqueira mountain range at 1424 meters elevation, Itatiaia extends across 241 square kilometers between Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais states.
The territory, originally inhabited by Tupi, Puri, and Coroado tribes, transformed from Campo Belo district in 1839 to an independent municipality in 1988.
The Penedo neighborhood maintains Finnish architectural elements and traditions from early 20th-century immigrants who established their community in the region.
Twenty municipal schools, one state school, and five private institutions form the educational network serving the population of 32,312 residents.
Despite its tropical location, the municipality experiences occasional snowfall and negative temperatures due to its high mountain terrain.
