Sítio Retiro

• Vale do Emboque A valley between the communities of Monforte Quente and Monforte Frio, about 15 km from town, crossed by old mule-driver routes. It has waterfalls, natural pools and rural trails among the mountains.
• Trilha Imperial do Jequitibá Centenário A route of about 9.5 km that follows stretches of an old stone-paved road from the imperial period. The highlight is a centuries-old jequitibá tree whose trunk takes at least nine people to hug.
• Cachoeira da Fumaça A waterfall on Fazenda Viçosa (farm), near town, open to visitors. The name comes from the mist of droplets that forms when the water crashes against the rocks.
• Pico do Urubu A peak about 1,400 meters above sea level in the community of Estreito, reached by a steep dirt road. From the top you get a panoramic view of the town and the surrounding mountains.
