The city arose from a branch of the great cowboy way it was going to Franca, São Paulo. The bound for Caldas, Minas Gerais had a stopping point in Vargem Grande.
Even today the population celebrates with festivities, remembering the old drovers giving rise to the village. Little remains of that era, today the downtown is bustling with many shopping streets around the main church, which has a very modern architectural style.
From Vargem Grande do Sul the trail transforms. After all we are in the foothills of the Serra da Mantiqueira (mountain range of Mantiqueira), whose massive will follow us until the down for the Paraíba Valley
