North

About North

The North region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, while not the northernmost part of the state, is nevertheless called "northern" due to the tendency for coastal Brazilians to refer to north as "along the coast towards the northern end of the continent". The region borders the Lakes Region to the south, the Serrana to the west, and the Northwestern region of the state, to the northwest.
