Costa Verde ( Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈkɔstɐ ˈveʁdʒi] , English: Green Coast ) is a coastline in Brazil (chiefly in Rio de Janeiro state ), which runs from Itaguaí , Rio de Janeiro state , to Santos , São Paulo state . In São Paulo it is known as litoral norte (northern coast). Brazil's Costa Verde is characterized by the Serra do Mar escarpment reaching Atlantic Ocean, creating a mountainous landscape very near the coast. It can be considered the greatest extension of Atlantic Forest biome reaching the ocean, between Baixada Fluminense (Fluminense Lowlands) and Baixada Santista (Santos Lowlands).
