Juiz de Fora
The opening of the road was significant for Juiz de Fora, turning it into an important trading centre. It also gave rise to the first travel guide to Brazil "Doze Horas em Diligência - Guia do Viajante de Petrópolis a Juiz de Fora" ("Twelve Hours in a Stagecoach – A Traveler's Guide to Petrópolis to Juiz de Fora") by Revert Henrique Klumb, published in 1872.
