Diamantina trip planner

Formerly a center of the region's diamond mining industry, Diamantina today boasts well-preserved Baroque architecture in its UNESCO-protected historic center. Named Arraial do Tijuco when it was established in the early 18th century, Diamantina changed its name to something befitting a town that owed its wealth to diamond mining. Surrounded by attractive, rocky hills, the town boasts plenty of natural attractions within reach of its well-maintained historic core. Diamantina's cultural attractions reflect the town's colonial history, and the atmosphere of days gone by is replicated in rustic bars, restaurants, and accommodations.
