Just a few minutes from the center of Lavras Novas, Serra do Trovão Lookout, also known as Mirante do Buieié, is one of the highest and most breathtaking spots in the region. Reached via an easy trail of about 1 km, the route offers beautiful scenery and is ideal for a light hike.
From the top, visitors are treated to a 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding mountains, including Serra do Caparaó, Serra da Chapada, Serra do Caraça, Ouro Branco, Pico do Itabirito, and Itacolomi. The spot is especially popular for sunset views, offering an unforgettable experience.
For a different kind of experience, local agencies offer horseback tours lasting about 1.5 to 2 hours. During your visit, it's a good idea to bring water, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, and to be prepared for cooler temperatures due to the altitude and wind exposure.

Important:
When visiting any natural attraction, remember that respecting nature is essential. Don't leave trash behind, and don't take anything but memories and photos. Avoid cutting or damaging native vegetation, don't scratch rocks or tree trunks, and always stay on marked trails. Preserving these places ensures others can have the same experience, and that future generations get to see the beauty that still remains.
