Ouro Preto Free Tour
Description
We'll meet at Horto dos Contos at the indicated time to embark on this free tour of Ouro Preto. Unlike other routes, this one delves into the lesser-explored facets of the city, brimming with nooks and crannies of untold tales. Are you prepared to uncover the hidden gems of this Minas Gerais municipality?
At Horto dos Contos, you can observe indigenous plant species native to the region. As we go to Casa dos Contos, prepare to be captivated by an extraordinary architectural ensemble. Did you know this is one of the city's most significant museums? Have your camera ready to capture the timeless beauty of this 18th-century mansion!
Our journey continues down Rua São José, renowned for its bustling shops and banks, and Casa de Tiradentes, once home to a key figure of the Mining Conspiracy. Delve into the historical events of colonial Brazil in 1789 as we share the intriguing story with you! Following this, our path will lead us through Largo da Alegria, ultimately arriving at the Church of Rosário. Inside, you'll have the chance to marvel at its exquisite altars.
On our free tour, we'll pass through Ponte Seca, a perfect spot to pause and catch your breath before reaching the Capela do Bonfim. Legend has it that those sentenced to death would visit this chapel to attend a solemn mass for their souls just before facing their execution.
Two hours later, our journey concludes with a breathtaking panoramic view of the Matriz de Nossa Senhora do Pilar Church.
