Estrada Real (The Discovery Tour)

There are many great rides on The Discovery Tour, one of them is the stunning Estrada Real * (The Gold Trail), the most travelled route in Brazil for over two centuries. A long time ago most of the slaves that worked in the gold mines walked these trails, so did the sugar cane and coffee tradesmen. In that time the trip used to take forty-five days on foot or by mule. Today the remains of this beautiful road lead to the city of Cunha, one of the landmarks on this trip. This iconic place is lost in the middle of nowhere, and that's exactly where we go for a ride.

* Estrada Real (The Gold Trail) includes some dirt/off road sections, good twists and amazing views.
