The região Serrana, is a mountainous area home to the historically important city of Petrópolis, at one point capital of Rio de Janeiro State, and the charming Nova Friburgo. The Região Serrana offers travelers the majesty of the Serra dos Órgãos mountains, and due to its moderate climate, this area attracts many visitors year-round.

Petrópolis, one of the most popular and stunning mountainous locations of Rio State, is endearingly referred to as the 'Imperial City' because the monarch Dom Pedro II made it his home. It is surrounded by lush Atlantic Forest and pulses with art, music, dance, culture and tradition.

Teresópolis, nestled atop a magnificent mountain range, is frequented for its fresh, cool air and beautiful natural parks, replete with diverse flora, fauna and springs. A sweet craft, clothing and gastronomy market also takes place every weekend.
