Serra de São José, Protected mountain range in Tiradentes, Brazil
The Serra de São José stretches across five municipalities, featuring quartzite formations, waterfalls, and trails that extend for 12 kilometers through diverse landscapes.
The mountain range contains the 'Calçada dos Escravos', an 18th-century stone pathway that stands as evidence of colonial mining activities in the region.
The Ponta do Morro Farm ruins mark the location where conspirators of the Inconfidência Mineira movement held secret meetings against Portuguese colonial rule.
Visitors can start their exploration from Largo das Forras, following Rua Ministro Gabriel Passos to access the various marked hiking trails.
The Wildlife Refuge houses half of all dragonfly species found in Minas Gerais state and 18 percent of Brazil's total dragonfly population.
