Black Ouro

Nestled in the mountains of Minas Gerais, Ouro Preto is one of Brazil’s most fascinating colonial cities. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this city was an important center during the gold boom in the 18th century. Today, its cobbled streets and baroque architecture, with masterpieces such as the Church of St. Francis of Assisi, offer visitors a journey back in time.

Ouro Preto is famous for its vibrant cultural life, with annual festivals such as Holy Week and the Winter Festival attracting art and music lovers. The city is also an adventurer’s paradise, surrounded by mountainous landscapes, hiking trails and natural parks such as the Parque Estadual do Itacolomi.

The local cuisine, with typical Minas Gerais dishes such as feijão tropeiro and pão de queijo, completes the experience of visiting this unique destination. Ouro Preto combines history, culture and nature, making it an essential stop for those who want to experience authentic colonial Brazil.
