Description

Photo: Transmantiqueira Trail The Transmantiqueira Trail (TMTQ) is a long-distance trail (LDT) approximately 1000 km long in the Serra da Mantiqueira. It crosses over 40 municipalities in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Minas Gerais, and 34 Conservation Units, favoring passages through already established trails and visiting the maximum number of attractions along its course. It aims to integrate the Brazilian System of Long-Distance Trails (LDT) of ICMBio, adhering to national and international experiences of systems like this. The trail plays a strategic role by prioritizing environmental education in promoting contact with the natural environment, as well as seeking alternatives for society's relationships with nature and its individuals, through the discovery of new lifestyles, gastronomy, beliefs and values, architecture, etc. The TMTQ will contribute to environmental conservation, the integration of humans and the environment in a lived interrelationship with the ecosystem, with local customs and history through the socioeconomic development of communities and their surroundings, as well as organized and sustainable tourism in the Mantiqueira.

Route

The Trilha Transmantiqueira starts in the city of São Paulo, at the old Horto Florestal, now the Parque Estadual Alberto Löfgren, which is the first conservation area actually established in the entire State of São Paulo, right after the expropriation of the Engenho Pedra Branca. Even though it is not in the Serra da Mantiqueira, the start of the trail was planned in this region because of the flow of people who live in Brazil's largest metropolitan area, Greater São Paulo: this way, they could start hiking close to home, in addition to the proximity of Guarulhos airport, which is strategic for international hikers. After the Horto, the trail crosses the Parque Estadual da Cantareira and the MoNa da Pedra Grande, skirting the shores of the Represa do Jaguarí - which is the largest in the Cantareira system – and reaches the foot of the Serra do Lopo, where the Mantiqueira truly begins to become majestic. The trail heads west, crossing dozens of municipalities and protected areas until it reaches Aiuruoca-MG, in the Parque da Serra do Papagaio, where it splits into a west branch and a north branch. On the west branch, the trail continues until it reaches the municipality of Santa Rita de Ibitipoca-MG, where it enters the Parque Estadual do Ibitipoca and ends at the famous Janela do Céu. On the north branch, the trail continues until it ends in the municipality of Itumirim, first passing through the Chapada das Perdizes and Carrancas. Source: Trilha Transmantiqueira
