The Estrada Real is formed by four paths. Officially opened by the Portuguese Crown, these paths connect the old regions of mines and precious stones, in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais, to the coast of Rio de Janeiro, also passing through São Paulo. * Old Way: From the sea to the mines, it totals 630 kilometers. Leaving Paraty, on the coast of Rio de Janeiro, it passes through the Serra da Mantiqueira, the Water Circuit, through old villages transformed into medium-sized cities with great tourist potential. The final stop is Ouro Preto, central point of Estrada Real. * New Path: The 515 kilometers of the New Path are the youngest on the Estrada Real. Its creation took place in 1698, but it was between 1722 and 1725 that the route was finally defined. From Ouro Preto to Rio de Janeiro, it connects Minas Gerais to the sea in the capital of Rio de Janeiro. Today, full of tourist attractions, it keeps dozens of traces from the mining era, a true invitation for the traveler. * Path of Diamonds: The Path of Diamonds is about 350 kilometers long and connects Diamantina to Ouro Preto. It became of great importance from 1729, when the precious stones of Diamantina gained prominence in the Brazilian and Portuguese economies. * Sabarabuçu Path: The Sabarabuçu Path was created as an alternative route between the Diamond Path and the city of Ouro Preto. Its 160 kilometers connect the districts of Cocais (Barão de Cocais) and Glaura (Ouro Preto). The short distance is enough to host places with a lot of history to tell.
