Mid-sized industrial city in southern Minas Gerais, Pouso Alegre sits in the Sapucaí River valley at moderate elevation, with mountain terrain in the surrounding region. Its walkable centre has a café and restaurant scene, and the city lies roughly midway between São Paulo and Belo Horizonte on the main highway connecting the two.
