Historic Cities of Gold Black and Mariana

About this activity

Great day trip getting to know the first two capitals of our Rich State. Both have an invaluable collection, with beautiful buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. A spectacular day awaits you on this tour. In Mariana we will go through the famous Rua Direita, with preserved houses, the Catedral da Sé, the first in Minas, a beautiful example of construction, whose high point is its wonderful organ, of German origin. Praça Minas Gerais, considered one of the 7 Wonders of Estrada Real. In Ouro Preto, we will visit the Museum of Inconfidência, with a rich collection in a wonderful building located in Praça Tiradentes, the main one in the city. Visit the charming Chapel of São Francisco de Assis, a masterpiece by the masters Antônio Francisco “Aleijadinho” and Manoel da Costa Ataíde, considered one of the 7 Wonders of Portuguese Origin in the World. A day to be marked in memory and always getting the taste of wanting more, staying another day. Time for shopping at the soapstone fair.
