Before you go
A little planning leaves more time to enjoy the journey.
Choose dates according to the outings you plan to take. Weekdays outside holidays usually make for a less crowded itinerary. For outdoor activities, check the forecast and confirm local conditions before you go.
We suggest three to five days to see the main attractions with breaks. On a short trip, choose a town as your base and reduce transfers. Reserve extra days if you want to combine other towns in the region.
Use Socorro as a base for the Museu Municipal de Socorro and the Mirante do Cristo. For Parque de Aventura Monjolinho, also consider access to the Rio do Peixe corridor and arrange return transport.
Take your trash with you, follow the signs and support local businesses. In natural areas, follow the visiting guidelines.
