The Rio Preto is a tributary of the middle course of the Rio Paraíba do Sul, flowing through the state of Rio de Janeiro in southeastern Brazil under the strong ecological influence of the Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range. This river drains through a bioregion recognized for its exceptional freshwater fish diversity, particularly within the Atlantic Forest biome. The surrounding landscape is characterized by the rugged terrain and dense riparian vegetation typical of the Serra da Mantiqueira foothills, giving the river a dynamic character with varied habitat types ranging from fast-moving rocky stretches to slower transitional environments. The Rio Preto sits within one of the most biologically significant freshwater bioregions in the state, making it a compelling destination for anglers interested in native Brazilian freshwater species.
