Mantiqueira Mountains
The Mantiqueira Mountains (Portuguese: Serra Da Mantiqueira) is a mountain range in southeastern Brazil, rising abruptly from the northwestern bank of the ParaĂba do Sul River and extending northeastward for approximately 320 km, reaching a height of 2,791 m in the Pico das Agulhas Negras. The mountains, which eventually merge with the Serra do Espinhaço, were originally forest-covered except for the peaks that rise above the tree line.
