Barão de Cocais

Bar�E3o de Cocais starts the Sabarabu�E7u at the district of Cocais. The fork separates this route from the Diamantes path and leads toward Caet�E9.

→ Caeté The Caminho do Sabarabu�E7u splits from the Caminho dos Diamantes in Cocais, district of Bar�E3o de Cocais, and continues to Caet�E9. The stage includes climbs and passages through eucalyptus groves, with the Serra da Piedade as a visual reference; check the fork so you don't continue on the other route.

Caeté

Caet�E9 brings together the Serra da Piedade and the passage through Morro Vermelho. Visiting the sanctuary atop the ridge requires a specific access in addition to the stage toward Sabará.

→ Sabará Between Caet�E9 and Sabar�E1, the passage through Morro Vermelho is part of the route. The original trail has tall vegetation and is difficult to navigate, and the alternative uses dirt roads, including an unmarked section; prepare navigation before setting out.

Sabará

Sabar�E1 allows visits to the Museu do Ouro and the Teatro Municipal. The exit toward Raposos passes through the Arraial Velho, on a link that includes a trail with no motor vehicle access.

→ Raposos From Sabar�E1 to Raposos, the historic axis passes through the Arraial Velho and combines dirt, trail and a paved section. The trail section does not admit motor vehicles, not even 4x4s; drivers need the alternative connection between the towns.

Raposos

Raposos comes before Hon�F3rio Bicalho, in the municipality of Nova Lima. The trail on this link has narrow passages and steep slopes; use the alternative provided for your mode.

Nova Lima

Nova Lima appears via the district of Hon�F3rio Bicalho, with no compulsory visit to the city seat. The Instituto Estrada Real reports a closed bridge on the continuation to Rio Acima and advises a detour via the MG-030.

→ Rio Acima From Hon�F3rio Bicalho, a district of Nova Lima, follow the alternative indicated by the IER on the MG-030 toward Rio Acima. The bridge over the C�F3rrego do Feij�E3o is still reported closed for maintenance; do not use the blocked crossing.

Rio Acima

Rio Acima precedes the arrival at Glaura, over dirt roads with climbs and descents. There is little shade on the high ridge; plan supplies and the duration of the stage.

→ Ouro Preto From Rio Acima, follow the dirt and paved stages to Glaura, a district of Ouro Preto and the official end of the Sabarabu�E7u. Going to the center of Ouro Preto extends the trip along the Caminho Velho and includes other accesses that require their own navigation.
