Mirante do Mangabeiras, Scenic viewpoint in Serra do Curral, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Mirante do Mangabeiras is a viewpoint at Praça Ephigenio Salles, in the Mangabeiras neighbourhood of Belo Horizonte, where the view takes in almost the whole city. Since its 2012 requalification the roughly 35,400 square metre area is fenced and holds two wooden decks set at different levels, one behind the former Rádio Cidade building, plus new lighting and landscaping.

The spot began as a dead-end street in Praça Ephigenio Salles, where Radio Jornal do Brasil, Belo Horizonte's first FM station, was installed in 1976, with a meteorological station beside it. Journalist Acílio Lara Resende created the little square, guided by Achiles Paz. The station building was demolished in 2006; in 2012 the Municipal Parks Foundation took over and reopened the requalified space on 20 October.

The spot was long known as Alto das Mangabeiras before taking the name Mirante do Mangabeiras. Employees of Radio Jornal do Brasil, the first FM station in Belo Horizonte, brought relatives and friends to see the view, and the dead-end street became a city attraction. In the early 1980s the station became Radio Cidade, so the square was also called Praça Rádio Jornal do Brasil and Mirante da Rádio Cidade.

The viewpoint lies at the end of a dead-end street at Praça Ephigênio Salles, in the Mangabeiras neighbourhood. Access to the fenced area with the two wooden decks is controlled by a municipal ordinance, and the Guarda Municipal patrols the site around the clock. The decks sit at different levels, so the lower one gives a closer look over the city.

The wooden deck provides an almost 360-degree view of Belo Horizonte, where modern high-rises stand alongside the natural mountain formation. This perspective reveals the contrast between the developed city and its geographical setting.
