Things to see and do Monte Café

You will be able to admire this magnificent waterfall of more than 30 meters high, very impressive, especially in the rainy season. The area is still not very busy and the less chilly can even get into the water in this little paradise by taking the stairs and the small wooden bridge that crosses the river. If you continue the road after the waterfall, you will arrive at one of the most beautiful rocas of the area, now inhabited by the inhabitants of the village. You can also consider a hike to Bombaim (6 hours walk).

In a rehabilitated colonial style building, a small museum traces the history of coffee making from the time of the splendour of the roça Monte Café. You can discover a machine from that time which was used to wash, sort the coffee beans according to their size and the whole selection process until the roasting. It is very simple, the visit in French is short but interesting. When you leave the museum, your guide will make you taste a cup of the coffee produced on the spot. And just for the taste of it, it's worth the trip up to the museum!
