Serro

Located at an elevation of 884 meters, Serro extends across 1,217 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in southeastern Brazil's Minas Gerais state.

The settlement began during Brazil's 18th-century gold rush period when Portuguese colonists established Vila do Príncipe as a mining administration center.

The municipality maintains traditional cheese production methods passed down through generations, following techniques introduced by Portuguese settlers in colonial times.

The municipality connects to major cities through regional highways, with regular bus services operating between Serro and Belo Horizonte throughout the week.

Serro incorporates sections of Pico do Itambé State Park, a protected natural area spanning 4,696 hectares established in 1998.
