The city
Belmonte lies beside the mouth of the Rio Jequitinhonha and preserves a collection of historic houses associated with the cocoa cycle. The lighthouse in the center and the beaches along the coastal strip show different faces of the municipality. The route to the south uses the BA-001, crossing the landscape between the estuary and the rural settlements.
