the sabarabucu path was created three hundred years ago by travellors who saw something shining on the top of pedade mountain - assuming the object was gold they created this alternative route only to discover the shining was coming from sun reflecting on iron ore.

the path is 160km and takes 4 days by bicycle, 11 days walking, 2 days by car and 6 days by horse - the route includes the teatro municipal de sabará, which is the second oldest working theatre in brasil, and beautiful views atop the piedade mountains.

the jeep club maricá 4X4 is a club connecting individuals who enjoy off roading and exploring the rugged terrain of brasil - with a detailed calender of events and organized group adventures the club is a favorite amongst locals in the state of rio de janeiro.
