Minas Gerais

Colonial towns, cheese and rich cuisine

Minas Gerais is Brazil's second most populous state and a treasure chest of colonial history, baroque art and distinctive cuisine. The state gave Brazil the pão de queijo, cachaça, and the incomparable feijão tropeiro, and its historic towns — Ouro Preto, Tiradentes, Diamantina — rank among the finest preserved colonial cities in the Americas, many of them UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Minas Gerais is enormous — plan it as separate sub-trips: the historic quadrilateral (Ouro Preto, Mariana, Tiradentes), the Doce Valley, and Belo Horizonte itself.
