Trilha Brigadeiro Caparaó

Description

The Brigadeiro Caparaó Trail (TBC) is a long-distance trail (LDT) approximately 250 km long, connecting the Serra do Brigadeiro - the northern arm of the Serra da Mantiqueira - and the Serra do Caparaó - which houses the third highest mountain in Brazil - in the Zona da Mata Mineira. It traverses three municipalities and connects two important Conservation Units: the Serra do Brigadeiro State Park and the Caparaó National Park. The route favors existing trails, fragments of Atlantic Forest, and various natural and cultural attractions along the way. The Brigadeiro Caparaó Trail aims to contribute to the conservation of the Atlantic Forest biome, generate jobs and income in rural areas, and serve as a tool for promoting health and leisure in natural public spaces.

Route

The Trilha Brigadeiro Caparaó starts on the Trilha das Águas, inside the Parque Estadual da Serra do Brigadeiro, and this starting point was chosen to give visibility to this important protected area. After the Trilha das Águas, the TBC crosses the territorial boundaries of the Park and moves onto private properties that support the project. After a few kilometers, it returns to the Park area and continues its route toward the highest mountain in the Serra do Brigadeiro, the Pico do Soares, at 1,985 m in elevation. From this point, not yet implemented, the TBC continues to the Laje do Ouro, Fazenda Brigadeiro, and Ararica. This will be the first section of the Trilha Brigadeiro Caparaó, with 03 overnight stops and 03 sectors planned.
