Trecho 03 - Macundu x Fazenda da Grama (Cicloturismo | Volta das Águas de Rio Claro)

Route

Access to São Roque from Macundu follows the same main road used to reach the village. Heading from São Roque toward Passa Três, the route features a steady incline in both directions; however, the gradient is gentle and comfortable. As you approach Passa Três, the trail becomes easy, with few intersections and no significant ascents or descents. This segment partially overlaps with the route of the Southern Fluminense Cycling Circuit. The town center is a strategic stop for cyclists to stock up on food and drinks before continuing to the next service point. The ascent from Passa Três toward Fazenda da Grama passes through a closed trail, offering a distinct riding experience compared to other validated routes in Rio Claro. Although it is an uphill section, it presents only a moderate level of technical difficulty. The section ends at the entrance to Passa Três, where paved roads and increased motor vehicle traffic begin. The final stretch at Fazenda da Grama is easy, but features many intersections, which can lead visitors off course. This is another strategic location for cyclists to restock on food and beverages before reaching the next service area.
