The Vargem do Braço River (, also known as Rio Vargem do Cedro and Rio Pilões) is a river of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Course
The Vargem do Braço River rises in the lushly-forested Serra do Tabuleiro State Park, a protected area created in 1975. The Serra do Tabuleiro, with altitudes above , is the largest mountain in the east-central portion of the state. The river is the main source of water for the greater Florianópolis metropolitan region. The river seems to have flowed north-northwest until quite recently, when a major tectonic event forced it to change its course. It now flows east-northeast to enter the Cubatão River near its mouth on the Atlantic Ocean.
