About Ouro Preto

Ouro Preto is Brazil's colonial masterpiece—Aleijadinho churches, mineiro food, and steep lanes that demand good shoes. April to September brings cooler, drier days for church interiors, the Museu da Inconfidência, and sunset from São Sebastião square. Summer downpours can flood narrow streets; mornings stay clearest. Stay two nights minimum and pair with Mariana or a day trip from Belo Horizonte to absorb the full weight of Brazil's 18th-century gold era.
