Montanhas

Montanhas offers a range of options for a stay: trips to Lagoa de Montanhas are among the leisure activities, alongside historic and architectural sites and nature attractions. The lagoon is designated as a landmark of the city. This raises a practical question when planning your trip: Would you like to focus on nature, local history or the goods on offer at a market? If you’re travelling with children, you can take everyone’s interests into account and choose together which of these sides of Montanhas sparks the most curiosity.

Historic and architectural sites

Historic and architectural sites in Montanhas include the Igreja de São João Batista. The Escola Estadual Carlos Gomes is also designated as a historic and architectural site, and is considered the first school in Montanhas. The two names offer different points of interest for those interested in culture: the Igreja de São João Batista is a church, while the Escola Estadual Carlos Gomes also has the distinction of being the first school. By including these places in your travel plans, you can choose between two different connections to the city’s history and architecture. For families, these examples also offer a specific topic for conversation: Which buildings or places interest your fellow travellers, and what would they like to learn about them?

The lagoon and other nature attractions

Lagoa de Montanhas has two roles associated with the town: it is a landmark and a destination for outings. In addition to the lagoon, Pedra do Oratório and Piscina do Doca are designated as nature attractions in Montanhas. These names bring the city’s natural side to life, without requiring every traveller to have the same destination in mind. If you’re especially interested in the lagoon, you can consider including trips there in your plans; Pedra do Oratório and Piscina do Doca are other distinct options. For a group trip, you can discuss which of the named nature attractions appeal to everyone, rather than treating nature as just a general holiday theme.

Goods on offer at the Feira Livre

The Feira Livre offers another glimpse of Montanhas. It is usually held at Praça Costa e Silva and in the surrounding area. The goods on offer include fish, chicken and meat, as well as fruit and vegetables; small animals are also sold. This mix offers a specific point of interest for anyone curious about local food and goods. The different categories can also be a topic for families: Which products do the children already know, and which would they like to take a closer look at? If you prefer to explore a place through everyday life and the goods it offers rather than its sights, this provides a different starting point from the historic sites or nature attractions.

Which of these themes interests you most may determine whether Montanhas is the right holiday destination for your search for a vacation rental.
