BH + Bird Watching 01 day

About this activity

Come with us to see up close, other residents of the edge of Pampulha Lagoon, in the company of a Biologist, specialist in bird watching and wildlife. I'm sure it will be worth waking up early, despite being within a city of + 2,500,000 inhabitants, Pampulha preserves a rich fauna with animals such as herons, capybaras, alligators, otters, toucans, shellfish, hummingbirds, I have even seen macaw flying in the skies of the idealized Pampulha, a place for vacationers, according to the thinking of the late Juscelino Kubitschek, in the 1940s. After a rich lunch, we will go for a walk in the south-central part of the Capital Mineira. Photo stop at the Pope's Square. Afterwards, visit Praça da Liberdade and Memorial da Vale, continuing on we will also visit the Abílio Barreto Historical Museum, whose main piece is the old + house of BH, the former headquarters of Fazenda do Leitão from 1883. To finish with a golden key our day, visit to the rich, third best market in the world.

Count on luck to see many animals. We will have the whole morning going around the Lagoon and stopping at the main attractions such as: São Francisco de Assis Church, Pampulha Art Museum, Casa de Baile, Casa Kubitschek Museum, Bandeirantes Lookout, Lagoa Dam.
