Serra do Mar, Mountain range system in southeastern Brazil.
The Serra do Mar extends for 1,500 kilometers along Brazil's southeastern coast, forming a natural boundary between coastal areas and inland plateaus.
Before the construction of 19th-century railroads, this mountain range created a natural barrier that limited Portuguese colonial expansion into Brazil's interior regions.
The mountain range contains settlements of traditional communities, including quilombolas and caiçaras, who maintain their customs and ways of living.
The Serra do Mar State Park covers 315,000 hectares and connects the forests from Rio de Janeiro to Vale do Ribeira and Paraná.
The mountain formation includes multiple named ranges with peaks reaching 2,255 meters at Pico da Caledônia in Nova Friburgo.
