Trilha do Mirante da Serra

Description

The trail to the Serra do Espírito Santo lookout in Jalapão is a must-do experience for nature lovers visiting the region. In addition to providing direct contact with the lush landscape of the cerrado, the trail offers some challenges and rewards that leave a lasting memory for any traveler. Prepare well, follow the recommendations, and enjoy every moment of this unique journey. The Serra do Espírito Santo is characterized by a long sandstone plateau that ends in an unmistakable pyramidal formation, a true postcard of Jalapão. Located next to the Jalapão Dunes, the mountain is crucial to their formation, resulting from the erosive processes of the rock due to the constant actions of winds and rains. This phenomenon makes the landscape unique.

Tips

-The best time to climb the mountain is before dawn, so you reach the summit before the first rays of sunlight; -A headlamp is essential, so you can keep your hands free in case you need support; -Wear light clothing: a windbreaker for the top of the mountain, which is completely exposed to wind gusts, and keep in mind that the descent will be under the intense heat of the day; -Bring a bottle of water (at least 2 L) to avoid dehydration, since the first section is all uphill; -Consider bringing fruit or a quick snack for breakfast; -Trekking poles are usually a great ally, helping you keep your balance on the rock blocks along the way. -Visiting time at the site is until 9 a.m. in the morning shift (in the afternoon, from 2 to 4 p.m.).

Route

The trailhead is approximately 23 km to the west, along the TO-255. To find the start of the route, just keep an eye out for the signs on the side of the road. The climb is challenging, with many rock blocks (some even loose), requires considerable physical effort, and good physical fitness is important. Along the way, there are benches that serve as rest stops to catch your breath before continuing. But be careful not to get distracted and miss the right time to enjoy the sunrise. At the end, you reach the summit, where the Serra do Espírito Santo lookout is located, from which you can watch the spectacular sunrise. Now, just enjoy the view and save the moment in your memory before heading back.
