Caminho da Fé

The Path of Faith is a Brazilian pilgrimage route, inspired by the ancient Camino de Santiago de Compostela. It was developed to provide structure for those making a pilgrimage to the National Sanctuary of Aparecida, offering support points and information along the entire route. The Path of Faith consists of over 2000 km, of which approximately 400 km traverse the mountains of the Serra da Mantiqueira via rural roads, trails, woods, and asphalt. With beautiful landscapes and welcoming communities, the Path offers moments of reflection and faith, physical and psychological health, and a connection between humans and nature. There are several branches that make up the Path of Faith, all leading to the Sanctuary of Aparecida. The main one is from Águas da Prata to Aparecida.
