Located in northwestern Brazil, Serra do Divisor is an imposing mountain range that marks the natural border between Brazil and Peru. This mountain range, part of the Amazon region, is a literal and symbolic watershed, representing not only the geographical separation between two countries, but also a crucial link for biodiversity and environmental preservation.
The Serra do Divisor is located mainly in the Brazilian states of Acre and Amazonas, extending to the Peruvian side, where it is known as the “Condor Mountain Range”. This region is characterized by high peaks, deep valleys and a wealth of ecosystems that are home to an incredible diversity of flora and fauna.
Serra do Divisor: The link between Brazil and Peru
The Serra do Divisor ecosystem is a jewel of Amazonian biodiversity. Its steep slopes and lush forests provide the ideal habitat for a wide variety of species, many of which are endemic and find refuge in the protected areas of national parks in Brazil and Peru.
In addition to its biological importance, it plays a fundamental role in the culture and history of these regions. Indigenous communities such as the Nawa and Nukini have inhabited these lands for centuries, depending on the natural resources for their subsistence. The mountain is sacred to these peoples, who consider it a place of spiritual and ancestral importance.
Conservation of the Serra has intensified, with the creation of the Serra do Divisor National Park on the Brazilian side and corresponding protected areas in Peru. These initiatives aim to preserve not only the rich biodiversity, but also the traditional ways of life of the local communities.
So it is more than a geographical border; it is a link that unites two nations, promoting environmental conservation and respect for cultural diversity. Visitors witness not only the mountains, but the fragility and importance of protecting this natural treasure between Brazil and Peru.
