Guape: SWFV - Aeródromo Terramaré (AD PRIV)
Among the places of Minas Gerais, Guapé stands out for its position on Furnas Lake, the extensive reservoir created by damming the Rio Grande. SWFV – Aeródromo Terramaré is a private aerodrome within the municipality, linking air access with a setting of rural land, broad water and indented shorelines. Furnas, widely known as the Mar de Minas, has shaped this part of the state since the reservoir was formed in the 1960s. Guapé is among the communities whose territory and local connections were transformed by the project. The lake’s network of coves and shores gives southern Minas Gerais a markedly inland, waterside character.
