The 56.24 km route will start from the central square and pass through Bra\u00e7o S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o, Vargem do Bra\u00e7o, and the area of the Hotel Caldas da Imperatriz, connecting natural landscapes, local communities, and historical landmarks such as the Santana Chapel, the Santo Amaro Parish, and the S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 Chapel. Divided into five sections and with moderate difficulty, the circuit will feature information boards at each stage, signage with arrows along the route, and a QR code for generating a certificate of completion.
