Serra de Ibiapaba
The Serra de Ibiapaba (Ibiapaba mountain) is an upland in northeastern Brazil, which lies on the boundary of Piauí and Ceará states. The range runs north and south, extending from near the Atlantic coast in the north to connect with the Serra do Araripe, which forms the southern boundary of Ceará. The Poti River bisects the range, and the southern portion, between the Poti and the Serra do Araripe, is also known as the Serra Grande.
In the highlands of Ibiabapa are located the towns of Viçosa do Ceará, Tianguá, Ubajara, São Benedito and Ibiapina. The elevation ranges around 700 to 850 meters above sea level. The Ubajara National Park is located on Ibiapaba.
