Serra do Rola-Moça State Park
Parque Estadual da Serra do Rola-Moça
A high-altitude grassland conservation area on the southwestern edge of the city. Its ridge road and viewpoints are famous for sunsets and are a favorite weekend hiking and sunset spot for locals.
Serra do Rola-Moça State Park spans four municipalities, including Belo Horizonte and Nova Lima, and protects high-altitude savanna grasslands and several water sources. Viewpoints along the ridge overlook the metropolitan area and the Iron Quadrangle mountains, and during the dry season the sky often turns orange-red at sunset. The park has several short trails and waterfalls. It is generally open Tuesday through Sunday and is free, though access may be temporarily restricted during the dry season due to fire risk. It is about 20 kilometers from the city center, so you'll need a car or a taxi.
