Riozinho - Reserva Indígena

Pedal in Riozinho passing through the indigenous reserve. The first 22 km are practically all climbs, whereas the last 14 km are all descents. It's a tiring ride, especially if done on hot days, due to the initial 22 km; I do not recommend it for those who are not used to it. I suggest bringing some type of water purifier, either in tablets or another method, as the last water tap will be at a small church approximately 13 km in. There are some streams close to the road, apparently clean, mostly because they are in the higher parts of the hills, but it is good to use the purifier to ensure. There are no food points; you have to bring your own. Before entering the indigenous reserve, there is a sign that advises against the entry of unauthorized persons, as it is a federal reserve. After the reserve, you will have to pass through a private property, nothing that good manners cannot help with. The lagoon of Forja South will be the last attraction before the descent; from there, it is 14 km downhill to the town.
