Minas Gerais (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈminɐz ʒeˈɾajs]) is a state in the north of Southeastern Brazil. It ranks as the second most populous, the third by gross domestic product (GDP), and the fourth largest by area in the country. The state's capital and largest city, Belo Horizonte, is a major urban and finance center in Latin America, and is the sixth largest municipality in Brazil, after the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Brasilia and Fortaleza, but its metropolitan area is the third largest in Brazil with just over 5,500,000 inhabitants, after those of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

Pico da Bandeira

Reviewed By rz1232015 - London, United Kingdom

We decided to climb Pico da Bandeira, Brazil's third highest peak, in mid-January in spite of wet weather forecast in line with the rain season. We travelled by car from Rio, a 7 hrs drive with a stop over in Teresopolis. The drive to Alta Caparao, the overnight base for the hike, is a beautiful never-ending landscape of green ⁶hills covered in tropical forest or v withn flowing down the muddy and rocky paths. From Tronqueira, it is about a 3 hrs up and 3 hrs down to reach Pico da Bandeira. The path is a mix of forest at lower altitude and open rocky but mostly green terrain at higher ones. You pass beautiful waterfalls and swimming holes. On a cloudy day visibility may not allow for good views, but on the way back we were given a chance to see clear skies and enjoy a mesmerisint view over Minas (see picture). Some of the best views ever.

Pico Selado

Ponto mais alto de toda a região, o Pico do Selado fica um pouco mais distante de Monte Verde, e é necessária uma caminhada de aproximadamente 2 horas a partir do Platô para se alcançar seu cume, a 2082 metros de altitude. A trilha é um pouco cansativa, com trechos íngremes (razão pela qual não é recomendável levar crianças pequenas). No topo do Selado tem-se uma soberba visão panorâmica de toda a serra, e as nuvens abaixo dão a impressão de que estamos em um avião! Ao final da tarde, se o dia estiver claro, podem-se ver as luzes de sete cidades da região e do Vale do Paraíba.
