TOURISM
Minas Gerais has a wide tourist spectrum, ranging from
traditional to contemporary. It is no coincidence that the State
is popularly known as a Brazilian synthesis since, in no other
State in Brazil, there is such cultural diversity and gastronomic
wealth. In a land with great mineral wealth, mountains, and
waterfalls, Minas Gerais has been consolidating itself as an
international destination for adventures, events, and religious
tourism.
A highlight in Minas Gerais tourism is the Circuito Liberdade,
a project that aimed to transform the historic buildings of
Minas Gerais into spaces with a vocation for art, culture,
and heritage preservation, gathered as
a cultural complex of reference for the
Minas Gerais capital and your visitors. The
region is located on the outskirts of Praça
da Liberdade, a project designed in the
XIX century to house the administrative
center of the State with the construction of
secretariats and the Palácio da Liberdade,
former government headquarters.
'Circuito Liberdade' currently comprises
33 institutions that permeate the cultural
and artistic universe in different aspects.
Thirteen of these cultural facilities are
managed directly by the State Government
and the others work with public-private
partnerships or partnerships with public
federal institutions.

and how the attractions work, visit: www.

Another Minas Gerais highlight is the Inhotim Institute, a
contemporary art museum and Botanical Garden located in
Brumadinho. Conceived in the 1980s by the Minas Gerais
businessman Bernardo Mello Paz, it was only in 2006 that one
of the largest open-air museums in the world was opened. Its
location between the rich biomes of the Atlantic Forest and the
Cerrado creates an exuberant landscape along 140 hectares
of visitation, with around 700 works, by more than 60 artists,
from almost 40 different countries. These open-air galleries
are displayed in the middle of a Botanical Garden with more
than 4,300 rare species from all continents of the world.
