Travel Opinion
 

Sao Joao Del Rei - Minas Gerais

185 kilometres from Belo Horizonte, to the south east of Minas Gerais.

Other historic city that conforms the rich cultural legacy of Minas Gerais.

Sao João del Rei obtained a considerable importance during the exploration of gold in many territories of the city.

It is well known because of its traditional and religious celebrations during Semana Santa (The Holy Week).

Its beautiful churches are an obligatory part of a tourist journey, among them (35 churches) it is possible to mention: Sao Francisco de Asís, Nossa Senhora del Carmo, Nossa Senhora del Rosario and Nossa Senhora de las Mercedes.

A nice activity is travelling on the locomotory "Maria Fumaça".

Is interesting to visit:

Municipal Teather (1893)
Centro Cultural Solar da Baronesa de Itaverava
Cathedral N.S do Pilar (1721)
N.S. do Carmo (1733)
N.S do Rosario (1719)
Museum Ferroviario
Museum Memorial Tancredo Neves.
