The Southern Espinhaço Ridge and neighboring regions constitute important areas in Brazil for training undergraduate and graduate geology students. Here, we present a geological guide of these regions with relevant outcrops aiming to motivate geology students and facilitate the comprehension of geological processes. Some outcrops of the Espinhaço Supergroup (Paleo-Mesoproterozoic) and Macaúbas and Bambuí groups (Neoproterozoic) are described and located for a field work of four to six days, with emphasis on stratigraphy and sedimentology. The indicated outcrops illustrate various Precambrian siliciclastic and carbonate depositional systems.
