About Renting a Car at Janaúba Center

Januária – no, Janaúba – is a city in northern Minas Gerais, located in the dry sertão region approximately 570 km north of Belo Horizonte. The city is a regional commercial and service hub in northern Minas and a gateway for travel in the São Francisco Valley. A rental car from the city center gives you access to the vast landscapes of this part of Brazil.

Janaúba lies near the Verde Grande River and is surrounded by typical caatinga vegetation with cacti and drought-resistant trees. The city has a lively downtown area around Praça Presidente Vargas with markets and local restaurants. The nearest larger city is Montes Claros, 100 km to the south via BR-122.

Drive 100 km south to Montes Claros for more attractions and shopping opportunities. Visit Represa de Bico da Pedra, a dam 20 km east of the city, popular for fishing and swimming. Avoid driving at night on BR-122 – the road is dark and wildlife may cross it.
