    Very cool, and the guide was very friendly and informative. For those who want to absorb as much information as possible in a short amount of time, it's worth it! They suggest a place for lunch, but it's expensive. There are cheaper options nearby.

Discover Ouro Preto: Tours, Tickets & Unforgettable Activities

Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Minas Gerais, Ouro Preto enchants visitors with its lush landscapes, cobbled streets, and baroque architecture. This former colonial town brims with colorful houses, majestic churches, and small artisan shops, making it a fascinating blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. It's an ideal escape for those seeking a mix of tradition, art, and scenic surroundings.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded in the late 17th century during the Brazilian Gold Rush, this town quickly became the economic engine of colonial Brazil. Its name, which means "Black Gold," refers to the dark, gold-laden rocks found in the region. Over time, it turned into a center of Baroque art and architecture, visible today in its ornate churches and historical landmarks.

When Should You Visit?

The weather is generally pleasant year-round, but the best time to go is between April and September. During these months, the area is drier and the temperatures are mild, allowing for comfortable exploration of the winding streets and outdoor attractions. The rainy season, from October to March, makes some streets slippery, but the lush greenery is at its peak.

What are the must-see attractions?

Highlights include the richly decorated Church of São Francisco de Assis, the Museum of Inconfidência, and the charming Tiradentes Square. Wandering the narrow alleys reveals hidden gems like small cafés, craft markets, and breathtaking viewpoints over the surrounding hills.
