Naturally beautiful. This is Barreiro Hydro-mineral Resort, where Ouro Minas Grande Hotel and Araxá Thermae were built. For you to have an idea of its size, it extends itself for 13 thousand feet around the hotel. At first sight the Barreiro Lake and Cascatinha Wood are outstanding. The wood is full of beautiful trees like purple and yellow ipês (Brazilian trees of the genus Tabebuia with purple and yellow flowers) jequitibás (tree of the genus Cariniana) and even jacarandas.
The scenery enchants even those that are used to it. People say that Dona Beja herself used to stroll through the woods when she wanted to go to the local fountains. And one of those fountains was named after her. Besides, it is a great entertainment to enjoy the Resort fountains and cascades. Know here everything you cannot miss in Araxá city and its surroundings.
