Tour To Tiradetes And Sao Joao Del Rei

We begin our journey early, departing from the hotel in Belo Horizonte, and set our course for Tiradentes. This city, established around 1702 when the Paulistas uncovered gold in the Serra de São José slopes, was originally called Santo Antônio da Ponta do Morro. It is renowned for its majestic Matriz, featuring a gold-adorned Capela-Mor and housing a Portuguese-origin organ. We will be captivated by the impeccably preserved historic town.

In the afternoon, our travels take us to São João Del Rei, celebrated as the birthplace of the prominent Neves family and a crucial junction connecting Minas, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro. Here, we will visit the famous Church of São Francisco de Assis, noted for its early Aleijadinho works, and stroll through the historic center, where highlights include the Matriz, the Cathedral, and the Basilica of Nossa Senhora do Pilar, all adorned with remarkable artistic works.

As the day concludes, we return to Belo Horizonte, enriched by an unforgettable experience brimming with history and architectural splendor.
