Serra dos Pireneus, Mountain range near Pirenópolis, Brazil
Serra dos Pireneus is a mountain range in Goiás state extending across three municipalities with its highest peak reaching 1,385 meters (4,544 feet). The range contains 26 waterfalls and numerous hiking trails that pass through different ecosystems.
The mountain range became a strategic point for gold mining routes in 1730, leading to the establishment of settlements including present-day Pirenópolis. This early development shaped the region and made it an important mining hub in Goiás.
The Festa do Morro takes place during the first full moon of July, drawing people to the mountain peak for religious ceremonies. This celebration reflects spiritual practices that have deep roots in the local community and shape how residents connect with the landscape.
Visitors need an authorized guide to explore the mountain range and safely navigate the different trails. It helps to bring weather-appropriate gear and plan visits according to local conditions.
The range functions as a continental divide between the Tocantins and Paraná river basins. Its distinctive quartzite rock formations create the geological character visible throughout the landscape.
