It is beyond worth it to include the historic town of Ouro Preto into your tour of Brazil. Ouro Preto is an incredible former colonial gold mining town in the hills of Minas Gerais, north of Rio. The wealth earned from its gold mining attracted Europe’s intelligentsia, resulting in a baroque revival which can be witnessed in its extravagant array of churches and museums. While here, embrace the newly found energy of this college town and walk along the cobblestone streets which lead you to local restaurants, artisan chocolate shops, local art galleries, churches, and theaters.
