The Magic of Milho Verde #

Milho Verde, a village nestled in the heart of the Minas Gerais region, charms with its authentic simplicity. The atmosphere is peaceful, punctuated by the murmur of rivers and the song of birds. This little haven offers everything needed: local shops, a pharmacy, and even a school. However, it is crucial to note that there are no gas stations or ATMs in the vicinity, a precaution to take before venturing out.

The meals offered by local restaurants, especially at MILHARAL Pizza, will delight palates with local specialties and surprising Nutella pizzas. The locals, although not very English-speaking, are warm and willing to share their culture and history. The hospitality of the locals, especially through convivial moments like a ‘Brazilian BBQ,’ strengthens the bond with this land rich in authenticity.

A Paradise for Climbers #

For climbing enthusiasts, Milho Verde is truly a playground. Although the heat can be overwhelming in the height of summer, climbers can take advantage of the cooler mornings and evenings to explore the various bouldering areas. Facilities like the training space at Milho Ventura are a bonus for those who want to stay fit throughout their stay.

Accompanied by local guides like Vinicius and Luca, visitors can discover a multitude of boulders and climbing sites, animated by competitions and events like “Milho Lands.” This village has thus become a meeting point for climbers in search of new challenges.

Ubatuba, Between Sea and Jungle #

A few hours’ drive from Milho Verde, Ubatuba presents itself to visitors as a gem of beauty.

The backdrop of Ubatuba, which blends lush jungle and ocean as far as the eye can see, creates a vibrant atmosphere. Days can unfold between climbing sessions and swimming in turquoise water. An experience not to be missed, especially as local groups are often present to accompany those wishing to explore the region.

Good Addresses and Practical Advice #

Whether in Milho Verde or Ubatuba, accommodation options range from Airbnb to small family-run hotels. The friendliness of the owners of these establishments, like at Milho Ventura, makes the stay warmer and more integrated into the local culture. It is advisable to book in advance, especially during the high season.

Thinking about logistics, it is also essential to anticipate certain practical details, such as renting crash pads in Ubatuba where few options are available. Having the right equipment can make all the difference during an intense climbing session.
