Pico do Gaviao is one of the strongest viewpoints in the Luminarias area. The rocky peak rises south of town and gives the kind of open, wind-swept view that explains why this part of Minas Gerais appeals to hikers and weekend nature travellers.
Go prepared for a rural outing rather than a manicured city lookout. Conditions change with weather, and the best experience comes with time to walk, stop, and take in the quartzite hills.
