Serra de Itabaiana National Park, National park in Sergipe, Brazil
Description
Serra de Itabaiana National Park is a protected area in Sergipe that combines Atlantic Forest and Caatinga vegetation across its landscape. The terrain spreads across multiple municipalities and features natural elements including Poco das Mocas, a natural pool on its eastern side.
