Itinerary description

Characterized by steep descents, this 27.7 km stretch passes through several areas of dense woodland, perfect spots for rest and refreshment along the trail.

After km 20, broad vistas of the Serra do Espinhaço and several other mountain ranges in the background come into view. The traveler continues to get glimpses of this “sea of mountains” from clearings as the road passes through well-preserved forests.

The final destination, Morro do Pilar, is recognized as the first city in South America to operate a blast furnace for the production of iron, built there in 1814. This locality has an infrastructure to support tourists and its strong point is its natural attractions, mainly its waterfalls, located outside of the center of town and well worth a visit.
