Monte Verde is a beloved destination for many, including myself, who has visited seven times in as many years. This charming place offers a variety of activities and attractions that cater to different interests. One of the main draws is its gastronomy, making it an increasingly popular choice for couples seeking a romantic getaway. However, the natural beauty, climate, and hospitality also contribute to its appeal. When planning a trip to Monte Verde, one common question that arises is where to dine.

Park
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Square Exaggeration is a remarkable tourist attraction that features an expansive park adorned with gigantic replicas of various objects, such as a chess board, pencils, and even ants. This public park stands out due to its unique sculptures, displaying the city's distinctive character. However, one minor drawback is that the maze could be improved by offering more intricate pathways rather than just a straightforward route leading to the center from two directions.
Legal ! Free !

Great public park. Very different with all the sculptures. Shows great character for the city.
Only drawback for me, I'd like the maze to actually be a maze not just a straight run to the middle from two directions

It's the most Beautiful park that I've ever been to, with lot of trees and flowers, this place is perfect to you take a beautiful photo with your family.
You can see lot of people exercising aroud the park as there is a good lane for cyclists
However sometimes you can fell a bad smell from the lake but it's only happend after it rains.
So, if you want to get away from the noise of the big city and enjoy nature, here is the right place.

Wet'n Wild
Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Park
Wet'n Wild is an expansive and vibrant water park with a multitude of slides, a wave pool, and occasional DJ-led events. While the food court options are limited and slightly expensive, children often delight in the burger meals available. Moreover, there are also more affordable snack choices that benefit parents financially. The staff members are exceptionally helpful and amiable. However, one drawback is the steep price for parking at 50R$, especially when considering the already high ticket price of 99R$.
The park didn't have many options of food courts, the food is a bit pricey but kids always enjoy to get the burguer meals. Options of cheaper snacks are also available which is a plus for the parent's pockets ! :)
The staff is very helpful and friendly.
The only bad side is the expensive car park ! 50R$ seems a bit much when you pay 99R$ for the ticket itself (whhe buying in advance and not in a combo, with a combo is cheaper).
Thayani Conaggin — Google review
Avoid at all costs during the weekend.
I went with my 14 yo kid and 10 of his friends. Here is our journey:
* Parking is well organized and reasonably priced (r$ 60)
* It took us 75 minutes to get in the park - that's because we bought tickets in advance. There was no shade, drinks or staff in the entrance line
* We had to wait 60 minutes more in line to get a locker.
* We chose a ride that was not too busy. We "only" had to wait 45 minutes in line. That means that it took three hours from the time we arrived to the time we took our first ride.
* The kids took another ride and off we went for lunch. 35 minutes in line, and the tables were dirty and full of flies. What an unforgettable experience to have lunch surrounded by thousands of flies.
* We took one most popular rides in the afternoon and it was time to go.
* In a nutshell, we arrived at 10am and left at 4 pm, for a total of 6 hours in the park. We took 3-4 rides, each of which lasted about 45 seconds. That averages out to 2 hours wait for every minute of riding.
* Staff is friendly, but poorly trained. When we want to buy an ice cream, it took staff 3 minutes to sell one popsicle.
* Management don't apparently enforce any capacity limit to the park. There were clearly four times more people in the park that there should be. There is zero chance lifeguard could see any kid drowning - which luckily didn't happen.
* There is medical examination to be in the park - and there were a few people with obvious and apparent skin diseases that shouldn't be there.
That, combined with a 35 degrees Celsius temperature made this trip the worst trip of my last 20 years of life (where I have been travelling extensively for work and tourism across 25+ countries in 5 continents)
Oren Pinsky — Google review
Great day out, I really enjoyed this water park and my 11year old neice also had fun. The park wasn't busy, queues were short, it was clean and tidy and the food and drink on offer was of a good enough standard. The yellow capsule drop slide was scary but fun, and the white half pipe and family rubber ring slides were my favourite. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone to visit and would go again.

Crazy expensive and over priced. Prices are abusive.
Its not as fun as i remembered and I got hurt in qll the rides.
Make sure to buy tickets before you go, otherwise you pay $50 more. Plus another $50 just for parking, and another $30 for a locker. Like I said, abusive.

Eat before you leave your home.
My wife always talk to me that would she like to go in a water club. Although, we live in a city with beach she prefers fresh water. The last month we went to Jundiaí SP and we resolve have fun in a club, so we choose Wet'n Wild. I already paid 50R$ only to park my car under the sun. inside the club we wasted some time find place for accommodation but I not found. However, we like the wave swim and the place for kids. Finally we went have a meal and one more time wast more time in the line. When our time arrived there weren't desks available we had eat standing up under the sun.

Super legal! Great amusement park for the whole family. Each area has its own special magic, from Egypt to The Wild West. Hopi Hari is growing and I'm excited to see what comes in the future!
Jason Widawski — Google review
Hopi Hari is a nice theme park to spend a day. I highly recommend purchasing the VIP pass because the line wait times prevented us from riding all the rides; the VIP pass is quite expensive though. The rides we rode were fun and the evening show was amazing! The food quality was average but I enjoyed the bacon and cheddar fries.
Lindsay Castano — Google review
It's a good place, the biggest problem is there's no free water to drink, covid is over already but you can't find water, only way it's to buy a water bottle.
The hamburger is really bad but at least is cheap, the buildings is in need of repairs.
Now on the good side, a lot of attractions, a big team to help you, organized line and almost all works are smiling.
Matheus Martins — Google review
I paid R$130 to go in 12th of September of 2021. I managed to do go to just 1 ride (the teacup that spins). All the lines were at least 02h30 long. I used to go there as a kid, but it is not the same thing anymore, they don't respect the customer, and even though lines are common in every amusement park, nothing is like Hopi Hari, and I've been to over 20 amusement parks in 4 different continents.

MsKrystl — Google review
The place is great but they let too many people in at the same time. I paid R$129 for my ticket and I managed to go on two rides. I had to stay in the queue for just under two hours for each ride which is totally unacceptable. Would really think twice about going back again. Very unfortunate as this was the same experience for thousands of other people who paid this price for a fun day out. Not to mention the expensive car park fee too.
David Kelleher — Google review
The park is old, lacks maintenance, is rusty, and outdated. We paid more than 200 BRL per person for a standard pass at the entrance because we couldn't buy tickets online, and it wasn't worth it. The queues for the main attractions took more than an hour, even though we went on a Monday, expecting it to be less crowded. However, school groups were present, ensuring long lines. The only redeeming feature was the live shows. In conclusion, I don't recommend visiting this park.
Miguel Angel Guerrero — Google review
Great place! The day I visited (Feb 9th 2019) the park was very clean and with just a few people inside, I would say 2500 people. The lines were incredibly fast. The restaurants had slow service. The park is recovering from a strong crisis. It has been refurbished and everything is shining new, but the low number of visitors is still a sign that it still have a long way to go. But I loved it! 10!

A great place to spend a day with or without children.
There are lots of different and varied facilities.
It is not possible to pay on the spot in cash just to recharge a card or credit card.

We went with our 6-year-old and had lots of fun. Although there are minimum height limits, but she was able to enjoy what she could go on to.
I recommend buying tickets on the internet in advance because you get a discount instead of buying on the same day.
Vitória Kuo — Google review
Great park with very interesting concept: the place is its own country, and fun is the main rule. Unfortunately, they've always had financial issues, which currently leads to ever-in-maintenance attractions and the feeling that all of its potential is going to waste. Some of the coolest attractions were closed on February-21, when we visited the park.
Employees are polite and gentle, but nothing compares to the reception at the entrance: clowns and other artists sing, dance and welcome the public, with contagious joy and excitement. They also seem concerned about COVID and wearing a mask is required at 100% of times, besides every attraction is cleaned with alcohol after a guest leaves.
Attractions are not as radical as they seem, but roller coasters are definitely worth the experience. The wooden one is not only impressive, but it also crosses the road near the park, and is an unique experience.
To avoid the kilometric lines, it's recommended to acquire a VIP pass. However, it costs BRL 120 or more (depending on the day), twice the entrance ticket value. This is expensive for Brazilian standards, but unfortunately it's the only way to have fun and enjoy your day at the park without wasting hours waiting in line.
Food is overall too expensive and not tasty, so it's also recommended to take some snacks and try not to eat much. Taking water and sunscreen is also the most important thing and this is located on the countryside, and sun seems to hit differently when compared to São Paulo.
To save money, take an Uber from Jundiaí train station.
Overall, park fans can get a great experience for an expensive price. I wouldn't recommend it for people who are not willing to spend money, people who are not already willing to give it a chance, or very tall or large people (attractions seem designed for smaller and skinnier people. Most are not fit for people above 120kg, so a bigger person wouldn't fit a roller coaster seat, for example)

Located in the outskirts of Campinas, Parque D. Pedro Shopping is a sprawling enclosed mall with diverse retail options, a cinema and an airy food court with chain cafes. It receives 18 million visitors per year and contains 399 stores including 30 anchor stores, 20 restaurants, 49 fast-food outlets, a movie theater complex with 15 theaters, conference center and 8,000 parking spaces.

Well designed mall with a central hub that allows for quick travel between stores without having to do a full circuit. Sprawling, lively food court with many options and plenty of seating. Good mix of big box and specialty stores that appeal to a broad range of consumers. Interesting artistic elements. Definitely worth a visit if you’re a tourist.

Neo Química Arena is located in the working-class Zona Leste and serves as the home stadium for Corinthians. The area also hosts other prominent football clubs like Palmeiras and Sao Paulo, with Santos FC having a significant fan base in the city. Visitors have shared their experiences of encountering friendly and helpful staff at the stadium, making it a memorable visit. The atmosphere during games is described as electric, especially when witnessing passionate fans like Gavioes da Fiel in action.
We being two Americans, were unable to buy tickets to last nights game after many many attempts (No CPF). We took the long journey to the stadium in hopes of buying high end tickets there from the stadium. We made it through 3 sets of boundaries before we were blessed to meet Elena at the entrance to the Fielzone area. She spoke solid English and was VERY VERY personable and helpful. We were able to purchase our tickets and had a great experience. Elena even went to find us later that night and check on us. Such a great experience by all that we met at the stadium. Great work!

The most incredible thing of all is Gaviões singing all the time, no matter if we lose or win being Corinthians is in the blood and regardless of everything I will be Corinthians until the end.

Great experience. We went and saw Corinthians x Avai in November 2017. Parked near the mall and metro station. Parking was R$60, which was a little expensive in my opinion, but the parking lot was secure, so I guess it was worth it. It was still a decent walk to the stadium. Stadium was beautiful. Sat in the upper level, and the view was great, but expect to stand for the whole game. Fans sang and cheered for all 90 minutes. It can be difficult to get tickets if you're not/don't know a Brazilian. Overall a great experience

Amazing place to go with your family specially if you have kids, they will love it. The trails is quit long for small child's and they don't have accessibility, or if you go with a small kids you will have to carry them during some stages of the trail, but apart of it is an excellent place to visit.
I recommend to arrive after lunch in hot days, you will need around 3 hours to do the course. It has a restaurant and cafeteria to eat.

Reaching the top is not for someone who is out of shape, it could even be a health risk for those with heart health issues. There is about 8meters of stairs to climb and the stairs are not so well made as some of them are low steps and some are hi steps, this can be a problem going back down too.
When you reach the top, however, you will be rewarded with a beautiful picturesque view of the town in the valley below. In my opinion it's worth the effort if your health will allow it. I really really enjoyed it and it is a memory I will savor for years to come.

Great place. With nice sunset view in a good area.
Just need to be careful that some times it can be a little dangerous.
Also at night usually it appears many people with loud sound on cars and drunk, that can be not very pleasant for all people.

Trilha da Pedra Redonda is a relatively easy hiking trail that starts at the end of Av. das Montanhas or can be reached from the Plato trail. It takes about an hour to complete and offers a tranquil experience through lush greenery. The trail leads to a 1990m rounded peak, providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Hikers are advised to wear comfortable clothes and sneakers, bring water, and apply sunscreen due to windy conditions on the rocks and intense sun exposure.

(Translated by Google) One of the main attractions of the city, several tourist agencies offer this tour. It is necessary to make an appointment in advance to enter the park, passenger cars suffer to arrive due to road conditions. Moderate trail, with climbs that require a little breath lol, but the final view is fantastic, yielding excellent photos and memories.
(Original)
Uma das principais atrações da cidade, várias agências de turismo fazem esse passeio. Necessário realizar agendamento prévio para entrar no parque, carro de passeio sofre para chegar devido a condições da via.

(Translated by Google) It was difficult to climb
The trail is very easy. But if you don't have the breath, you'll suffer a little.
The guide who took us was super understandable. Walked slowly
He took beautiful photos for us.
*Important detail*: wear sneakers, very comfortable clothes, a bottle to put water in the spring, no bags, hats or caps. Use lots of sunscreen, on your ears and neck. It's very windy on the rocks. The sun is intense. Enjoy the view. It's worth all the sacrifice to climb.
(Original)
Foi difícil subir
A trilha é bem facilitada. Porém se não tiver fôlego vai sofrer um.pouco.
O guia que nos levou foi super compreensível. Andou devagar
Tirou fotos lindas pra nós.
*Detalhe importante*: vá de tênis, roupa bem confortável, garrafa para por água na nascente, nada de bolsa, chapéu ou boné. Use muito protetor solar, nas orelhas, pescoço. Na pedra venta muito. O sol é intenso. Aproveite a vista. Vale muito todo o sacrifício pra subir.

(Translated by Google) Experience out of 10! The trail was really cool, when I did it I didn't expect sun, but it was worth it! In the sun it must be even more beautiful. It's not difficult, but elderly people or people with leg problems should avoid it, as it takes about 40 minutes going up and 40 minutes going back down. Up there, try taking a photo with mirroring in the water, it looks really cool.
(Original)
Experiência nota 10! Muito legal a trilha, quando fiz não tinha expectativa de sol, mas valeu a pena! Com sol deve ser mais bonito ainda. Não é difícil mas pessoas idosas ou c problemas na perna devem evitar, pois leva cerca de 40 minutos subindo na ida e 40 descendo na volta. Lá em cima, tente fazer foto com espelhamento na água, fica bem legal.

(Translated by Google) The trail is light to moderate. In fact, I found it more difficult to drive up to the parking lot than to hike the trail 😅. The route is all signposted, there are no secrets. And that's why you don't need a guide.
We did it at 2:00 pm and it was super peaceful, as well as being cool because of the forest. As it was a bit cloudy, when we arrived at the top of the rock, it was a mild temperature and without strong sun.
The view is truly impressive, a breathtaking 360º view.
Parking: R$20
Entrance: R$35
(Original)
A trilha é leve a moderada. Na verdade, achei mais difícil subir de carro até o estacionamento que fazer a trilha 😅. O percurso é todo sinalizado, não tem segredo. E por isso não necessita de guia.
Fizemos às 14:00 e foi super tranquilo, além de ser fresquinho por causa da mata. Como estava meio nublado, quando chegamos no topo da pedra, estava com uma temperatura amena e sem sol forte.
A vista é realmente impressionante, uma visão 360º de tirar o fôlego.
Estacionamento: R$20
Entrada: R$ 35

(Translated by Google) Super challenging despite the lack of infrastructure but as an average trail it is interesting. The view of the city of Monte Verde and the Vale Paraíba region was worth it, but I recommend greater security at the top of the rock, which is half abandoned.

Antonio Miranda Pimentel — Google review
(Translated by Google) Easy to moderate trail, well signposted, with benches at some points to help with breaks and rest, tests physical fitness due to the steep climb, especially after stopping at the Mirante, trail to the top in about 30 minutes. For the elderly or people with health and mobility problems, they should avoid it, as it requires more care and more from them. The path to the entrance is bad, not well signposted and mostly dirt, so you have to pay attention.
It's really worth it, the view at the top is sensational!!!
I didn't pay for parking.
I didn't go with a guide.
Pet accepted.
Entry: 35.00
(Original)
Trilha de fácil a moderada, bem sinalizada, com bancos em alguns pontos pra ajudar em pausas e descansos, testa o condicionamento físico devido a subida íngreme, principalmente após a parada no Mirante, trilha até o topo em mais ou menos 30min. Para idosos ou pessoas com problema de saúde e mobilidade devem evitar, exige mais deles e cuidado. O caminho até a entrada é ruim, não muito sinalizado e na sua maioria de terra, tem que ter uma atenção.
Vale muito a pena, a vista no topo é sensacional!!!

The trail is not as easy as it seems, there are some difficult sections, the wooden steps are unstable and slippery.
The view at the top of Pedra Redonda is very beautiful!

(Translated by Google) If you don't go with a tour company, the trail needs to be booked, we went in March (Easter) 2024 and the cost of the individual trail without a guide was 42 reais.
Additionally, you need to pay for parking, which costs 20 reais per car.
I hadn't found anywhere that I needed to book an appointment for this tour.
Unfortunately, due to the available times for the trail and the amount charged, I didn't do it.
(Original)
Se você não for com uma empresa de turismo a trilha precisa ser agendada, fomos em março (na páscoa) de 2024 e o valor da trilha individual e sem guia era de 42 reais.
Além disso, precisa pagar o estacionamento, que custa 20 reais por carro.
Eu não tinha achado em lugar algum que precisava de agendamento para esse passeio.
Infelizmente por causa dos horários disponíveis para a trilha e o valor cobrado não fiz a mesma.

(Translated by Google) The trail is quiet, at several points there are wooden stairs and benches to rest. The viewpoint halfway through is good, and the round rock has a really incredible view. You must be aware that there is a lot of sun on the round stone.
The only downside is that you need to book and pay 35 reais per person to do the trail, a very abusive price for a tour without a guide, and there is no half price.
I don't recommend it for people with limited mobility, but I recommend it for children.
(Original)
A trilha é tranquila, vários pontos há escadas de madeira e bancos para descansar. O mirante do meio do caminho é bom, e a pedra redonda tem uma vista realmente incrível. Há de estar atento que na pedra redonda há bastante sol.
O único porém é que é necessário agendar e pagar 35 reais por pessoa para fazer a trilha, um preço bem abusivo para um passeio sem guia, e não há meia entrada.
Não recomendo para pessoas grande dificuldade de locomoção, mas recomendo para crianças.

Such a beautiful place with kind-hearted staff! I’m not a local and didn’t know that they only accept cash and Pix, and since my card was international they couldn’t accept it. The girl selling tickets let me in for free and covered my parking as well. Such a simple yet kind act, it was genuinely the highlight of my day! The plants and gardens were beautiful, and I felt very peaceful afterwards. I would recommend this place to everyone!

This park was absolutely beautiful and worth the 40 Reis entrance fee. The gardens were all well-maintained. The views of the surrounding valleys were spectacular. It's an easy stroll through the park, and there's even a maze to navigate through. There are various plants to see and coy fish in the ponds. And there's a tree house you can visit. You only need 1-2 hours total to see everything. The employees were nice, but it may be difficult to find someone that speaks English.

A tourist attraction in Sao Jose dos Campos called Ducha de Prata is a beautiful waterfall and shower that can be accessed by wooden decks. There are nearby stalls selling souvenirs. The water was pretty and interesting, but there were no actual trails to hike to get away from the crowds. It was pretty busy when we were there, so it may not be the best choice if you want to visit on your own.
It’s a very beautiful place and there are shops you can shop souvenirs from. The only issue is the issue of getting a ticket to enter the main areas there but you can still view for free from the first stairs and also take pictures. We didn’t stay for long because we went there by the sight seeing train from the capivari.

Beautiful scenery. Definitely worth a look if you are in the area. If you see the waterfalls, keep going down the path until the end. There are some hidden waterfalls underneath where most people stop. The shops and tourist attractions are fun. Very down to earth location. Most of the shops close early so plan accordingly. Come by car because the roads are narrow and the cars speed.

The most popular tourist attractions in Campos do Jordao are very close to the city center. There is the 'Teleferico', the first built in Brazil and one of the iconic photos of Capivari. When taking a ride on one of the pedal boats, you reach the top of the mountain in just five minutes, where you will be treated to an amazing view of all of the area, surrounded by steep hills.

It’s the centre of attraction of the city, a very lovely place with different activities that you can engage in.

Morro do Elefante is a mountain top spot with amazing city and mountain views. It can be accessed by car or cable car, but the latter option is payable. The view from up there is definitely worth it!
Overlooking Campos do jordoan, beautiful European style town right in brazil. You can take a "ski lift" type ride up or down to the overlook. Couple of little shops and food vendors so you can spend a little extra time enjoying the view. The photos are what so much of the home, hotels, shops and restaurants are like.

Beautiful view in a place that could get potential to be better.
We climbed to the elephant's hill using the scared cable car, I believe its was created with the city and never modernized.
My husband, who is Canadian, liked the experience more than I did. He was scared but he found excited at the same time. I think that because I have already been to Campos do Jordão several times, I think at this point the city, which seems to be very rich looking at the hotels in the area and people who frequent it, should have already renovated that a long time ago and have made something much better and more attractive, as the other countries that have mountains for Ski. I think don’t need to be exactly the same, but Mount Tremblant in Quebec also has a small area up hill and its not so fancy, but little more attractive and safe.
Anyway, the view is very beautiful and we can see the whole city, mountains and part of the other surrounding regions. When we get up there again, the attractions could be much more elaborate and modernized giving opportunity to locals to get better jobs, show a nicer view and give to the city, locals and visitors a better structure. I think the place with elephants is a good idea, especially for children, but they could modernize it and charge a little for the entrance to maintain the place. They also could make a kind of a little mall where people could expose their crafts making their products more attractive and a nice cafe or restaurant with a lookout ... Anyway, use a little of the American style of exposing your business, which could be better for everybody. If I had money to invest, that unfortunately is not the case at the moment, I would probably organize people and get that changed for the benefit of all city and visitors.
Grade: Eli = 3, Serge = 3
Recommend: It’s worth for the Mountain View.

One of the best waterfalls in Carrancas, also one of the most famous, what makes the place be always busy, you have to be very lucky to get it empty.

Admission fee is only 50BRL per adult,
25B RL per kids for 1 day.
There have a lot of outside artworks and more than 20 architectures that have inside artworks.
It is very tough if you complete to see all artworks.
But even 1day, I’m sure you can enjoy a lot.
Even kids, they can enjoy and don’t forget to visit here. There are English guidance all places.

One of the most unique and incredible museums, not just that I’ve seen in Brazil or South America but the world. Part botanical gardens, sculpture park, and gallery it’s easy to spend all day here to cover everything but two days needed to cover everything detail. There are over twenty galleries and dozens of sculptures. Recommend getting the internal cart transport to save time on longer routes and try out the Pão de Queijo at the cafe by the entrance. A king day needed to explore but worth it!
Jacob C — Google review
Was an amazing experience to visit this Open air museum. From the architecture, to Gallery’s and great food. This is a must go if your near the area. Did a full day and wasn’t able to see everything. 100% going to plan more trips here to finish seeing it all. Suggest reserving a exclusive golf cart way ahead. We thought we could get them same day but they were sold out.
Even with the golf cart I feel as if you can spend multiple days here. Also would want to come back in different seasons as the park has so much vibrant plant life that I’m sure the seasonal changes are worth seeing multiple times.
Staff was very helpful, everything was clean, and the food is top notch.

All that set on a very improbable location, on a former farm / minerals mining property turned into an open landscape exhibition area, spread throughout acres and acres of tropical gardens, fountains and lakes, by the initiative and vision of a once rich heir of a family fortune who went bankrupt while pursuing his dream of an open skies art collection, that became opened to the public in exchange for part of his debts with the government.

The Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos in Congonhas do Campo, Brazil is a Rococo-style church built in the 18th century. It is famous for its soapstone carvings and wood sculptures by renowned sculptor Aleijadinho. The sanctuary consists of a church with an exquisite Italian-inspired Rococo interior, an outdoor stairway adorned with statues of prophets, and seven chapels depicting the Stations of the Cross.
Here is the world heritage was registered in 1985.
If you transfer between Belo Horizonte and Ouro Preto, you can stop here easily.
There are beautiful sculptures made by Aleijadinho.
Inside church is also beautiful space.
There is a vivid altar.
We went there on Friday afternoon, there were few people.
It was calm and silent place to feel Baroque art.

This sanctuary in Minais Gerais, south of Belo Horizonte was built in the second half of the 18th century. It consists of a church with a magnificent Rococo interior of Italian inspiration; an outdoor stairway decorated with statues of the prophets; and seven chapels illustrating the Stations of the Cross, in which the polychrome sculptures by Aleijadinho are masterpieces of a highly original, moving, expressive form of Baroque art.

The Praca da Liberdade is a large and popular square in the center of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It's surrounded by museums and historic buildings, making it a great place to relax and enjoy physical activities. The square is also home to many state offices, making it a key location in the city.
I loved the fact that the museums are free and open till late

One of Belo Horizonte's iconic symbol.
Well located with a wide range of museums to be visited.
On special occasions like Christmas, the Praça da liberdade Square receives a special and unique decoration (best option is to visit during the night because of lights).
Just some blocks ahead, you will find a good variety of restaurants.
Eduardo Barroso Ferreira — Google review
A beautiful building that's still in use. What is open to visitors is nice, but not a lot to see. If you're short on time, is give this a miss... If you have time, it's cute and quick.
Imo, the upstairs bathroom and the entry staircase were the best.
Paul King — Google review
Great place in BH to stroll, walk, sit and observe the historic buildings in the surroundings. The landscaping is beautiful and very well maintained. And for those who like exhibitions of art, history and knowledge, it is very worthwhile to visit these buildings that, in times of pandemic, follow the distancing rules, alcohol gel available, pressure measurement at the entrance and control of people's access through prior scheduling.

This is a beautiful local square in the historic centre of the city. It's flanked on all four sides by old colonial era buildings, and it has gorgeous manicured gardens.
Stop by here for a photo opportunity, before heading to the nearby museum or cultural centre.

Beautiful square in the center of Belo Horizonte inspired on the gardens of the Versailles palace, it is one of the most relevant ones. It has the so called cultural circuit around it, including different museums, knowledge institutions and at least one theater. The CCBB (cultural center of Banco do Brasil) stays nearby and is a must do visit. Also notice the wavy building, it is Oscar Niemeyer’s project. And such a beautiful one.
The palm trees lane is so beautiful!

The Bank of Brazil Cultural Center is a magnificent 1920s building that features free or low-cost arts events including theater, film and dance. The cultural center also has an interior courtyard with cafes, stained glass windows and a retractable roof that makes for a relaxing break any time of day.
Lovely museum in Belo Horizonte/ MG - Brasil.
Always improving with different expositions.

Expo of Mark Chagall was good in quality and quantity. Only the captures were all the same"lithography, from private collection", which I doubt. Clearly doesn't apply for every item, since I know some of thm. I liked the cheesecake in the patio cafe.

We always came here to see the expositions. Our daughter love them. And we must say that the fact it is free of charge (most of the time) is good not only because the obvious reason, but coz' it allows all people to have access to art, culture.
Nando Miranda — Google review
the museum is nicely curated and you can also visit some of the rooms upstairs, which are kept as they were while the building was a public office. There’s also a restaurant and cafe in the courtyard with a stylish interior.

It is truly worthy of the name it bears. The cultural events vary from expositions to theatrical plays. And if you can spare some time, there's an inviting coffee shop on the premises.

Wonder place to visit in Belo Horizonte and in any city (main cities in Brazil have the Cultural Center of Banco do Brazil). Entry is free. Here there is an interior terrace shared by two cafes/ restaurants, with very nice ambiance; the prices are a bit too high, so it is not for the backpacker, but it is nice to have a different experience.
The exhibits are usually well curated. Currently there are two, one of Antonio Poteiro, Brazilian popular artist and one of Man Ray, the famous photographer. Both very interesting and, again, with free entrance.
Coming here gives you the opportunity to enjoy the Freedom square (Praça da Liberdade) where it is settled. Don’t miss the wavy building of Oscar Niemeyer, renown Brazilian modernist architect.

Belo Horizonte's central market is a bustling warren of stalls selling food, drinks and crafts from all over Brazil. Highlights include Minas Gerais' delicious treats - like sweet caramelized doce de leite and goiabada jelly - as well as the many no-frills bars inside the market serving beer at night.
A destination when in Belo Horizonte! The food, the shops, the people, the experience is absolutely unique and overwhelmingly outstanding.
I love everything about Mercado Central de BH. I always make a point to stop, grab a bite to eat, and drink (Choppe or caipirinha!) and bring something you only find in Brazil, home.
My suggestion, if you can get to Mercado by public transportation or walking, you'll be saving money you can spend shopping or eating because parking is VERY expensive at R$12/hr which can rack up quickly if you make your visit an afternoon event.

A MUST GO/ SEE/ VISIT every time I am back in Belo Horizonte, Brazil! It NEVER disappoints, delicious food and freshly prepared drinks everywhere, sugar cane juice, baked goods such as "coxinhas", "kibes", sandwiches, and a whole LOT more that makes this special place a MUST GO EVERY TIME! The endless variety of local shops and "cachaças" is astounding, and it keeps getting bigger and better every year, I always bring a huge number of bottles of Brazilian Cachaças for friends and family in the UK and they love this cane sugar rum right before they get to bed any time of the year, summer or winter & ask for more whenever we go again!
People are kind, friendly and helpful wherever you stop by to try the incredible selection of cheese, sweets and whatever else that catches your eye!
Easy access and fun anytime, but try not to go during the weekends when there's a lot more people/ visitors not just from other states in Brazil, but also lots of people from Europe.
Monday thru friday works much better and you can get better, faster services, but if you aren't in a hurry, then it's great anytime!
Can't wait to go back in march 2024!

I heard it is recommended to be careful of putting your phone in your back pocket but we had a great time. Many things to see and buy here, and great food. It’s better to bring a person who speaks Portuguese to help you navigate, but it can be fun even without. Keep an eye out for cash only signs, though most places take cards.

This is a great for tourist or foodie in Belo Horizonte. There is a massive selection of gourmet and specialty foods, fruits, vegetables and meats in this market. Also you sample several different types and flavors of caçhaca here.
There are also restaurants in the market if you want to sit down and have lunch or dinner.

Mercado Central it is like... another dimension... A magical place surrounded of vivid colors, unmistakable smells... hundreds of people dribble the congested and tight hallways. Looking for the best deal, from thousands of stores that side-by-side compete for your hard earned money. The Mercado Central is a complex fusion of races, ages, dialects, culture, and flavors... What ever you want, you will find it, even if you don't need you will get it. More then just a market, it is a life experience, come, embrace it, enjoy it and come back for more...

The Mineirão Stadium is a massive sports complex that was constructed in 1965. It is primarily used for football games and boasts several amenities such as a museum and dining options. The access ramps are well-designed, making it easy to enter and exit the stadium. The seats are comfortable enough, although local fans prefer to watch the game standing up. Visitors may sometimes have their view obstructed by large flags, but this is an accepted part of the local culture.
GREAT EXPERIENCE!!! I didn’t know they had free Brazilian tears to drink in the dispensers when Germany played them… A great show to watch. The game was just as one sided as the taste of salt of the Brazilian tears. Overall I rate this experience 1/7

Well thought of access ramps make very easy to get in and out of the stadium. Seats are comfortable enough, although you hardly use it as local fans watch the game standing mostly.

I went to my first football game here and it was amazing. I didn’t even like football (scoccer) before and now I’m addicted. The energy from the Cruzeiro fans is amazing. Never seen it heard anything like it in my life.
I just have one problem. The VIP section isn’t that great. I paid R 750 for premium seats ( Hall Principal 203 VIP) and it didn’t come with food or drinks. One the website it said it would. I was pretty upset at first but honestly the game was so good I forget about it after an hour.

Av. Antônio Abrahão Caram, 1001 - São José, Belo Horizonte - MG, 31275-000, Brazil
Mina Chico Rei, also known as Encardideira, is a legendary gold mine located between Ouro Preto and Mariana. It offers visitors an underground adventure through its galleries and halls on a trolley once used by miners. The mine was owned by Chico Rei, a former slave who became king. Visitors can explore the deep shafts of the mine and even wade through an underground lake at Passagem Mines of 1719 for a thrilling experience.
If you are interested in visiting this mine, or stumbled upon it during your trip to Ouro Preto, read about Galanga, the legendary figure from Minas Gerais. Brought as a slave to Ouro Preto, he lost his parents during the travel, being crowned king on the ship. Upon arriving in Brazil and being baptized and named Chico, he was enslaved on those mines, until eventually gaining his freedom.
If the story is true I do not know, but the mine is an interesting sightseeing spot. It is quite small, with two long tunnels that end in two rooms of sorts. In those rooms the guide will talk about the story of the mine and Chico Rei. One of the tunnels is quite easy to walk in, but the other is narrow and sometimes really short, so you will need to walk crouching.
It costs around R$25 to visit the mine, they offer you Cachaça while waiting to enter or when leaving the mine and I am not sure any guide talks English. The visit is short and is totally worth it.
Very important, this mine is the Mine of Chico Rei. It is located inside of Ouro Preto. Other commonly visited mine is the Mine of Passagem, in the way to the city of Mariana. It is an unrelated mine.

A wet mine located in Ouro Preto. Honestly speaking it is not very big, but the guide (who spoke only Portuguese and a little bit of English) was able to explain what was going on. Be prepared for a little bit of climbing. There was even a small waterfall inside the mine. It was okay, good for about a half hour visit.
Chin Zhi Hui — Google review
Very interesting tour of a former goldmine. Lasts about 20mins. Bigger guys need to crouch down quite a bit, but it's worth it. The history of the mine and the slaves working there are brought to life very vividly by the guide. Tours are available in Portuguese, Spanish and English. At the time of writing it cost 50 R$ / person.
Felix Neiss — Google review
Total rip off. You pay 30 brl to see two small claustrophobic tunnels which give no idea of the history of the place. No explanation of the mine's context is offered, except that if you pay for a guided tour, THEN a richer experience awaits ... maybe ...
The owner of the mine across the road (Palacio Velho) instead invited us in and showed us around his mine - despite being officially closed (it was Christmas Day) - for a token amount and with an offer to come back the day after if we wanted. We saw much more interesting stuff and understood more about the mine and gold mining in Minas, thanks to his tour.

I would give this place 3 stars only because of the fact that this was open during Christmas and was something for us to see, otherwise it deserves 1 star. All other things were closed. It has an entry fee of 30 BRL, which is not definitely worth it. The mine is small and there was no guide to take us in. There are two paths inside, one straight for around 20-30 metres and one to the left, which was filled with water. We feared to go inside without a guide.
