About Ecomuseu Serra do Rio do Rastro
The Ecomuseu Serra do Rio do Rastro is headquartered in the former Estação Ferroviária Dona Tereza Cristina, in the Bela Vista neighborhood of Lauro Müller. The building and platform allow visitors to recognize the railway's role in the town's development. The ecomuseum also extends to interpretation of the Serra do Rio do Rastro territory: its area includes geological heritage, Mata Atlântica and historic routes. The visit can start at the headquarters to understand this relationship between nature and human settlement. Guided activities help explore topics such as the Coluna White and the Aquífero Guarani, according to the available program and booking. The territory is extensive, so do not treat a stop at the headquarters as having covered all the trails or the mountain road. Prepare the visit in advance and confirm opening times, which routes are open and whether you need to book the activity you want. The station and the ecomuseum's routes are part of a single heritage interpretation set.
