About Renting a Car at Capelinha Center

Capelinha is a city in northeastern Minas Gerais with approximately 35,000 inhabitants, located in Vale do Jequitinhonha. With a rental car, you can reach Diamantina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in approximately 2 hours (130 km) south via BR-367. The region is known for its craftsmanship, folklore culture, and beautiful landscapes.

Capelinha is at the heart of the Jequitinhonha Valley, one of Brazil's most culturally rich but economically disadvantaged regions. The city is a hub for ceramic and textile craftsmanship. The nearest major city is Araçuaí, approximately 80 km east via BR-116.

A rental car with good ground clearance is recommended as many attractions in the valley are reached via dirt roads. Fill up with fuel in Capelinha before venturing into the countryside – gas stations are sparse. Be sure to visit local craft markets on Saturdays for authentic experiences.
