Santa Rita de Jacutinga is a municipality in Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil with rolling terrain and an elevation around 780 meters. The town has a modest administrative center with schools, clinics, and basic services for residents and visitors.
The municipality began as an early settlement in Minas Gerais and grew through agricultural expansion and the development of trade routes in the twentieth century. These connections laid the foundation for its current structure and role in the region.
Portuguese colonial architecture shapes the local streetscapes, where traditional textile crafts and local artwork remain part of the community's daily visual character.
The town is most easily accessed on foot since administrative facilities are arranged centrally and within walking distance of each other. Visitors should check ahead about what services are available, as small towns may have limited operating hours.
