Gonçalves, Mountain municipality in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

The municipality of Gonçalves spans across 187 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, with elevations ranging from 960 to 2100 meters above sea level.

Gonçalves emerged as a settlement in 1878 and gained municipal independence from Paraisópolis on March 1, 1963, marking its establishment as an administrative division.

The Festival de Gastronomia e Cultura na Roça brings together local farmers, chefs, and residents to showcase regional agricultural products and cooking methods.

Visitors reach Gonçalves via the AMG-1930 road, which connects to highway MG-173 leading to Vale do Paraíba and São Paulo.

The municipality contains remnants of Mixed Ombrophilous Forest with Araucaria trees, a rare ecosystem typically found only in southern Brazil.
