Ouro Preto is an old mining town set amongst massive hills. Today it is a big tourist magnet with 250-year-old colonial architecture and narrow, windy, picturesque streets.
I took two long walks totaling maybe three hours and that was pretty much it. I could have done fine with just a day trip, but then again four hours roundtrip on the bus might have been too much for one day.
The truth is that I’m a big city guy, and this place just doesn’t do it for me.
Next up: A bus ride back to Belo Horizonte for the one-hour flight to Rio de Janeiro. 5 in Brazil
