Estiva – MG Destination Serra da Mantiqueira
How to get there
The Fernão Dias is the reference route to reach the area of the Recanto do Morango, in Ribeirão das Pedras, Estiva. Decide whether your destination will be that spot or the town center; the Caminho da Fé walking route is not equivalent to travelling on the highway.
How many days
Set aside a day in Estiva to explore local products and the town centre. Those arriving via the Caminho da Fé can use the stay to rest before another stage.
When to go
For Estiva, confirm the availability of strawberries and products at the chosen venue; do not count on harvests being available on any given date. Rain forecasts should guide walks in the mountainous areas.
Do you need a car?
A car helps link Estiva's town centre with the points along the Fernão Dias. Pilgrims should use the proper route and arrange support rather than walking on the highway just to reach a shop.
