Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Campos do Jordao

    Campos do Jordão is the highest town in Brazil, at 1,628 metres in the Serra da Mantiqueira, and it behaves like it. The air is cool, even on summer evenings, pine and araucaria trees line the streets, and in winter the temperature can fall close to freezing, which draws visitors from São Paulo who want to wear a scarf and eat fondue. The architecture leans toward Swiss and Bavarian chalets, a style that began when the town became a health resort in the early twentieth century, prized for its clean, dry mountain air as a place to recover from tuberculosis.

  2. 2. Monte Verde

    Pine trees, wooden chalets and a fondue on the menu: this corner of Minas Gerais does a convincing impression of the Alps. Monte Verde is a small village at about 1,500 metres in the Serra da Mantiqueira, near the border between Minas Gerais and São Paulo, and it has built a whole identity on being cold. Winter nights drop close to freezing, the buildings are styled with steep roofs and timber, and visitors flock from São Paulo for open fires, chocolate and a feeling of being somewhere else.
