Belo Horizonte is a young and exciting city.
Planned a little more than a century ago to be Minas Gerais capital, it is today one of the poles of national development in service, culture, and business tourism sectors.
Third city in the country in population, it has been considered the metropolis with the best life quality in Latin America by the United Nations. An "Environmental Model City”, it is one of the most arboreous capitals of the country, with approximately 560 thousand trees – a number that increases for 2 million, when we consider the parks and preservation areas.
Surrounded by the magnificent Serra do Curral, it shows wonderful landscapes that mix the urban aspect with nature. Besides, it is near historical cities like Ouro Preto and Tiradentes, as well as natural paradises like Serra do Cipó and Caraça. |
