The local experience
A protected area created in 2005 in the Serra do Capim, with high-altitude grasslands rich in bromeliads and orchids and a summit of almost 1,200 meters. From the top, on clear days, you can see the Dedo de Deus and other mountains of the Serra dos Órgãos.

Opened in 1886 on the railroad branch line that served the region, closed in 1947, it is the only station on that line still standing. Restored by the community, it now houses a municipal office and serves as a cultural space.
