Monte Verde
Monte Verde, situated in the Serra da Mantiqueira (commune of Camanducaia), near the border with the state of Rio de Janeiro, resembles a village in the Alps. Winter temperatures here fall as low as 14°C/7°F. The area was first settled by immigrants from Latvia, followed by Hungarians and Germans. The presence of Europeans is reflected in the Alpine-style wooden houses, the carefully tended gardens, the arts and crafts and the way of life and customs of the inhabitants. Monte Verde lies 32km/20mi from Camanducaia, 484km/300mi north of Belo Horizonte and 166km/103mi north-east of São Paulo.
