Cachoeira de Minas offers plenty for travellers looking to combine mountain scenery, outdoor activities and rural culture. When choosing a holiday rental, your interests can help guide your decision: free flight and climbing appeal to different interests than learning about coffee production. Local music and rural technology are also among the municipality’s attractions.

Mountains and Outdoor Activities

Serra do Monte Belo reaches an altitude of 1,442 metres and has a ramp for launching paragliders. Those interested in free flight will find a direct connection to this activity here.

Camping is available at Serra dos Machados. Climbing takes place at a quarry in this mountain range, known as Pedra do Tonito do Romão. These are two distinct outdoor activities: camping and rock climbing.

Pedra do Tonito Romão is a place to enjoy nature and take part in sports.

Coffee and Local Culture

Sítio São Sebastião offers rural tourism visits. Visitors can learn about the processes and technologies involved, from cultivation and harvesting to the selection of specialty beans. The visit covers several stages of coffee production. Arrange your visit in advance.

Grupo Remanescentes is a traditional music group from Cachoeira de Minas. Usininha do Sr. Guerzoni is a self-built electricity generator in a rural area. Local interests thus range from traditional music to rural technology.
