A few kilometers away, Mariana charms with its picturesque atmosphere and its colorful facades.

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
