From the
"Footprint BRAZIL Handbook" "Diamonds, gold and other Mineral riches were the driving force behind the settlement of this mountainous state. This abundant wealth has left behind a legacy of colonial architecture and sculpture decorating its mining towns." The state of Minas Gerais offers one of the great overland circuits in Brazil, fifth largest country on earth. Just a short flight north from Rio, Belo Horizonte is the gateway to exploring this scenic area and its charming colonial towns. A one night circuit gives you Congonhas, Ouro Preto and Mariana while a two night circuit gives you in addition the colonial towns Tiradentes and Sao Joao del Rei. Also available: INHOTIM, a Contemporary Art Complex, just an hour's drive from Belo Horizonte. |
