From Goiânia you have the options of taking the GO414, through Anápolis, or the BR 60, through Abadiânia. Both will arrive at a bifurcation in Planalmira, where there will be road signs towards Pirenópolis.
Upon entrance in Pirenópolis, you may enter the expressway to your right about 50 meters from the entrance, which will take you directly to the Serra dos Pireneus. You will see signs towards the Parque Estadual dos Pireneus e Pedreiras.
Follow this road and go up the hills.
When the asphalt ends, there will be 6.3 kms of dirt road through the main path.
Right after a road sign indicating the Cachoeira do Abade, amongst others, go right ahead and you will soon find to your right the entrance to Espaço Azul (painted in blue with the name on the wall).
From Goiânia
100 km - through Águas Lindas and Cocalzinho - BR 70
140 km - through Águas Lindas and Pirenópolis - BR 70
160 Km - Through Alexânia and Abadiânia - BR 60
From Brasília, you have two main roads to choose from:
Option 1 - Through the BR 070, crossing through Águas Lindas. You may come directly through the Espaço Azul through Cocalzinho (without entering Pirenópolis) and thus save about 40 km.
From the Plano Piloto, enter the Estrutural and follow in the direction of Ceilândia and Águas Claras, to enter the B4 070. You will cross the towns of Girassol and Edilândia, up to Cocalzinho.
In Cocalzinho, turn on the last return and follow the sign indicating the Parque Estadual da Serra dos Pireneus - for about 4.350 km - where there will be a bifurcation, you should take the left turn to continue through the state park.
You will cross the park and, from its exit gate, are another 1630 mt until the entrance to the Espaço Azul to the left after a steep decline.
In case you opt to go through Pirenópolis, go through the BR 70 for another 40 km, crossing through Corumbá de Goiás. From the entrance of Pirenópolis you may take the expressway towards the Parque Estadual da Serra dos Pireneus. If you enter the city, go through the Bonfim neighbourhood until you reach the same road towards the park. On the road to the Parque dos Pireneus, when the asphalt ends, it’s about 6.3 km until the Espaço Azul on a right entrance.
OPTION 2 - Through BR 060 (Brasília-Goiânia), excellent road, with a double track. Best option for those closest to the south exit.
From the Plano Piloto, go towards the Núcleo Bandeirantes, through the Via Épia. You will cross Alexânia and upon getting closer to Abadiânia, you should pay close attention to signs pointing towards Pirenópolis.
Enter the city and go through the GO 338 until the bifurcation in Planalmira where you will see signs towards Pirenópolis.
Upon entering Pirenópolis, take the right expressway indicating the Parque Estadual dos Pireneus e Pedreiras if you want to come directly to the Espaço Azul. Follow this road and go towards the hillside. When the asphalt ends, it will be about 6.3 km of dirt road until you will find, to your right, a wall painted in blue, where you will find Espaço Azul written.
In case you want to go to Pirenópolis first, you should leave through the exit from the Bonfim neighborhood to access the same park road, which will take you to the Serra dos Pireneus.
