Cavalcante trip planner

Founded during the 18th-century gold rush, Cavalcante was once the domain of optimistic excavators who hoped to strike it rich. Many did, and until the beginning of the 19th century the town enjoyed prosperity, which eventually disappeared along with the vital gold supplies. Nowadays, Cavalcante is one of the poorest areas in its state, with an economy largely based on agriculture. Despite this, the surrounding area's natural beauty has lead to a boom in Cavalcante tourism, with many adventurous visitors using the town as a base for hiking and mountain biking.
