Waterfalls
And swimming pools.
São Gonçalo do Rio das Pedras is a small village of about 1,660 people in the municipality of Serro, in the Alto Jequitinhonha region of Minas Gerais. Its district was created in 1857, and it lies a short way from neighbouring Milho Verde on the historic Estrada Real. Waterfalls and the rocky skyline of the Serra do Espinhaço surround the village, making it a place for rest and contemplation away from the noise of the cities, with simple houses and an unhurried rhythm. Several guesthouses welcome visitors who come to walk to the waterfalls and swim in their pools. Many visitors combine it with Milho Verde, Serro and Diamantina on one trip along the Diamond Road, each village showing a different face of rural Minas Gerais. Take care on the dirt roads in the rainy season and carry water on the trails.
