What travellers ask us most before a trip to Minas Gerais.
Minas Gerais is an inland state in south-eastern Brazil, north of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Most trips start in Belo Horizonte, the state capital, whose international airport has flights from all over Brazil.
The best known are Ouro Preto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Tiradentes, both full of baroque churches and colonial streets from the gold-rush era. Other gems include Mariana, Congonhas and Diamantina.
Inhotim, in Brumadinho near Belo Horizonte, is one of the world's largest open-air contemporary art museums, with galleries and large artworks set in a vast botanical garden.
Pão de queijo, artisanal cheeses such as Canastra cheese, slow-cooked Minas dishes like feijão tropeiro and frango com quiabo, sweets made with milk and guava, and local cachaça.
Four days are enough for the main historic towns. Five to six days let you add rural tourism, gastronomy or the national parks. AMTOURS builds custom itineraries of any length.
