Picnic with Artelatte cheese and cured meats, mountains in the background

Route · Capixaba Mountains

Cycle touring

Riding slowly along the country roads of the Capixaba Mountains, stopping where the flavours are made.

ECOA’s cycle touring brings together active travel, mountain landscapes and small producers. The first circuit is Bike & Terroir, in Pindobas — more bike rides are on the way.

Bike & Terroir — a gourmet ride in Pindobas

Quiet country roads, a car-free dirt stretch and four tasting stops at local producers — by e-bike or on your own bike, on a loop that starts and ends at Casa Nostra.

Active travel. Sustainable tourism. Flavours with a sense of place.

23 km loop with about 410 m of total climbing, 4.5 hours. Leaves Casa Nostra at 7:30 am.

Bike & Terroir, the game

Before you come, ride the circuit in your browser: five e-bike stretches between the stops, flavours to collect, battery to save for the climbs and a leaderboard to climb. Works on a computer or on a phone held sideways. The game is in Portuguese.
