Pedra Azul and the region
Where is Pedra Azul?
In Domingos Martins, in the mountains of Espírito Santo, about 100 km from Vitória along the BR-262. Pousada Rabo do Lagarto is on the ES-164, at the edge of Pedra Azul State Park.
How do I get here from Vitória?
Along the BR-262 toward Belo Horizonte, in about 2 hours. If you are flying in, Vitória Airport is the closest, and we recommend AC Global Travel for your transfer. By car, Belo Horizonte is 424 km away (about 8 h), Rio de Janeiro 466 km (about 8 h) and São Paulo 889 km (about 13 h).
Is it cold in Pedra Azul?
Yes. We are 1,100 meters above sea level. In winter, nights are often below 10 °C, and even in summer they are cool, perfect for lighting the fire.
Do I need to book to visit Pedra Azul State Park?
Yes. Entry is free, but you need to book through the Agenda ES portal (agenda.es.gov.br). The Park opens Tuesday to Sunday and is about 5 km from the inn.
Why does Pedra Azul change color?
It changes tone with the sunlight throughout the day: blue, green, golden. Tradition says there are about 36 changes a day. Watching it from the inn is one of our favorite rituals.
