Gold Path (Caminho do Ouro)

Winding through the hills of Minas Gerais, the Gold Path (Caminho do Ouro) once served as a vital train route for transporting mining supplies, facilitating the African slave trade, and moving gold. After the gold reserves depleted, the trail fell into disuse. Today, it has been revitalized as a popular destination for travelers. Visitors can explore the scenic mountains and thick forests while tracing a piece of Paraty’s history. The path offers a tangible connection to the region’s past, set against a backdrop of natural beauty.
