With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Juiz de Fora, 50 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Halfeld Park, Lajinha Park and Mariano Procopio Museum. Situated 55 miles away, Nova Friburgo is another popular choice. If you stop by, make sure you check out Nova Friburgo Cable Car, Eduardo Guinle Stadium and President Getúlio Vargas Square.
