A Day Visiting The Biggest Gold Mine In The World

If it were only one mine it would already be an amazing ride. But this is the largest gold mine open to visitors in the world. You can't be afraid of adventure, after all, you will descend into the underground galleries carried on a mine cart along 315 meters of rails. Down there 35 tons of gold came out, but today you can see crystal clear water and impressive galleries. The even more adventurous can also dive into the mine lake, paying extra for the activity. Tour are only in Portuguese, but you can enjoy the scenery. Opening hours: Monday – Friday: 09:00 – 16:00 Saturday – Sunday: 09:00 – 17:00

Between the small cobblestone streets opens up the Minas Gerais square, where Mariana's main church is located. Such as in all parts of Mariana, they are decorated by the lush mountains on the background. Find a place to park your car at the street to explore the square and the surrenders by foot.
