If you’re searching for a day-trip destination, we can help out. Sitting 40 miles away, Itatiaia is worth getting in the car for. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Pequena Finlandia, Serrinha do Alambari and Parque Nacional do Itatiaia. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Varginha, 40 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Varginha Flying Saucer. (But we’re also huge fans of Dilzon Melo Municipal Stadium and Jose de Rezende Pavia Park.)
