Santa Cruz Cabrália’s Historic Town occupies the upper part of the municipality and preserves architectural and landscape landmarks of great value. Nossa Senhora da Conceição Church, the former Town Hall and Jail and viewpoints over the João de Tiba River help tell the story of the region’s historical development. Access involves a steep climb from downtown Cabrália, so motorized transport or a guided tour is usually the most comfortable option. Choose cooler times of day and confirm accessibility conditions in advance.
