Colinas, Administrative municipality in eastern Maranhão, Brazil

Colinas is a municipality in eastern Maranhão situated on rolling terrain between two river systems. The area spreads across land with varying landscape types and forms part of the regional administrative structure.

The settlement became a city in 1891 under the name Picos before being renamed Colinas in 1943. This change of name marked an important shift in the community's identity.

The municipality serves as an educational center in the Alpercatas Planning Region, with regular community gatherings that strengthen social connections.

The town connects to larger cities through several regional highways and sits several hundred kilometers from the nearest major city. Access typically occurs via road travel from surrounding regions.

Temperature records in the municipality range from 13.5 degrees Celsius documented in August 1977 to 41 degrees Celsius measured in October 2017.
