Jiboia Jungle

Jiboia Jungle covers the slopes of the Serra da Jiboia in the southern Recôncavo of Bahia. The range stands where the humid Atlantic Forest gives way toward the drier caatinga of the interior. Its woodland forms a distinct mountain refuge between contrasting landscapes, with forest clinging to slopes above the surrounding lowlands. The ridge takes its name from the jiboia, or boa constrictor, a snake found in Brazil.
