Gita in bici di un giorno da Contagem a Belo Horizonte

This route takes you from Contagem to the heart of Belo Horizonte, covering about 27 km with a nice mix of ups and downs—expect a total ascent of around 570 meters, so get ready for a little workout! Most of your ride will be on quiet roads, making it fairly relaxed, though you’ll want to watch for short sections of busier streets as you get closer to the city center.

Contagem is a major industrial city but has pockets of green, so you might glimpse some local vibes as you roll out. Belo Horizonte, on the other hand, is famous for its modernist architecture and vibrant food scene—perfect for refueling after your ride.

The surface isn’t always predictable; while about a third is paved or asphalt, a majority of the route’s exact surface is unclear, so be prepared for a few surprises under your wheels. All in all, this is a varied ride that’ll take you from the laid-back suburbs straight into the bustling energy of BH!
