The path is a 230m cleavage, a literal and symbolic rift that cuts through the terrain to point towards the exact site of the dam failure. Ip\u00ea flowers, symbol of life and resilience, remember the flame of candle lights and evoke a procession.

This memorial space honors the 272 victims who lost their lives in the dam collapse at the C\u00f3rrego do Feij\u00e3o Mine operated by Vale S.A. The disaster, which occurred on January 25, 2019, released 12 million cubic meters of mining waste and impacted 26 municipalities. The site comprises an entrance pavilion, a grove, outdoor spaces, paths leading to a sculptural monument, a reflecting pool, exhibition rooms titled \"Memory\" and \"Testimony\", and a space designated for the dignified storage of corporeal remains.<\/p>\r\n\n\t\t
