The Caparaó Guerrilla was the second armed insurgency attempt against the Brazilian military dictatorship made by impeached former soldiers. Inspired by the Sierra Maestra guerrilla, it took place in the Serra do Caparaó, on the border between the states of Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, from 1966 to 1967. It was the Second Guerrilla against the Brazilian Military Dictatorship, after the Três Passos Guerrilla, connected to it.
