North (Rio de Janeiro)
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.
