By: The Travel Word Whether in festival high season or slower times of year, Pirenópolis has plenty with which to keep travellers busy (http://www.pirenopolis.com/ Back in Pirenópolis, which is registered on Brazil’s National Heritage list, a host of nooks and crannies beg for exploration. Much more plain for all to see are the town’s lively events, like the Cavalhadas, a ritual and celebratory reenactment of a battle between the Moors and the Christians under Charlemagne. There are also plenty of Pirenópolis hotels, from charming traditional posadas to more sophisticated lodgings. Like the Pousada Arvoredo, which utilises solar energy and has a system for recycling and waste management in place, many of these establishments are taking measures to improve the sustainability of this emerging city. Guests are more than welcome to take part in any of these processes.
