4 days in Belo Horizonte Itinerary

Named for its spectacular mountain views, and known locally as the "Garden City," Belo Horizonte has historically fostered a connection with nature since its inauguration in 1897.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Igreja Nossa Senhora do Carmo and Doze Profetas De Aleijadinho. Venture out of the city with trips to Ouro Preto (Bobadela Street, Museum of Mineralogy, & more), Inhotim (in Brumadinho) and Bom Jesus do Congonhas (in Congonhas). There's still lots to do: don't miss a visit to Praca da Liberdade, examine the collection at MM Gerdau - Museu das Minas e do Metal, pick up some local products at Mercado Central de Belo Horizonte, and take an in-depth tour of Memorial Minas Gerais Vale.
