About State Of Minas Gerais
Minas Gerais, a large inland state in southeastern Brazil, is known for colonial-era towns dating to the country's 18th-century gold rush. With cobblestone streets, ornate mansions and baroque churches decorated by the sculptor Aleijadinho, these towns include São João del Rei, Tiradentes and Ouro Preto, the old capital. The famous steam train Maria Fumaça (“Smoking Mary”) links Tiradentes to São João del Rei.
