Travel through time: the colonial cities of Minas Gerais
Minas Gerais is an open-air museum where Brazil's colonial heritage is revealed through historic cities listed by UNESCO. Ouro Preto, the former capital of gold , seduces with its baroque architecture, its churches decorated with gilding and its cobbled streets, offering a dive into the 18th century. A few kilometers away, Mariana charms with its picturesque atmosphere and its colorful facades.
Discover the secrets of gold mines, stories of independence revolts and the influence of Baroque art in Brazilian culture.
Tiradentes (the tooth puller) , for its part, is a haven of peace where time seems to stand still . Its squares lined with cafés and artisan workshops create a unique atmosphere, while its rolling mountains and hills invite you to a nature getaway.

Unspoiled nature between mountains and waterfalls
Minas Gerais is a haven for nature and adventure lovers. The Serra do Cipó , nicknamed the "Garden of Brazil" , enchants with its waterfalls, caves and trails offering spectacular views, perfect for hiking and climbing.
The Serra da Canastra National Park , with the majestic Casca d'Anta waterfall, is home to exceptional biodiversity. It offers an ideal setting for ecotourism and marks the birth of the São Francisco River, the emblem of Brazil.
