Serra do Cabral, Mountain range in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The Serra do Cabral extends across 40 kilometers, forming a water divide between the Das Velhas and Jequitai rivers, tributaries of the Sao Francisco River.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Serra do Cabral supplied saltpeter for gunpowder production in Rio de Janeiro, indicating its economic role in Brazilian history.

The mountain range contains numerous prehistoric archaeological sites with cave paintings depicting animals, demonstrating early human presence in the region.

The Serra do Cabral State Park spans 22,494 hectares across six municipalities, including Buenopolis and Joaquim Felicio, with elevations ranging from 900 to 1,300 meters.

The mountain range houses several endemic plant species, including the sempre-vivas, altitude-adapted cerrado plants that grow naturally in this environment.
