Join us on a jardineira tour of Ouro Preto, where we delve into the soul of the city in a traditional manner. This experience includes a panoramic exploration that allows you to admire the key landmarks from a distinct viewpoint.

At the agreed hour, we will meet you at 126 Rua Barão de Camargos. From there, we'll board a jardineira for an engaging and memorable journey through the city's streets. Prepare yourself for an extraordinary adventure!

Your jardineira tour of Ouro Preto commences at Largo de Coimbra, where the stunning São Francisco de Assis Church awaits. We will enter this remarkable sanctuary to marvel at its elaborate interior. Following our visit, we’ll hop back onto the jardineira and glide past noteworthy spots such as Praça Tiradentes, Rua São José, and Largo do Rosário, which houses the Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos Church.

As we proceed, our route includes a stop at the historic Ouro Preto train station, operational since 1888. We’ll venture into the city's monumental complex, making noteworthy pauses at the Aleijadinho Museum, Basilica do Pilar, and the Church of Santa Efigênia. During this segment, we’ll highlight the area’s significance during the colonial era, demonstrated by its impressive religious structures.

Our journey through the intricate streets of Ouro Preto will showcase landmarks such as the Bridge of Sighs and the Santa Rita Mine. Traveling in this vintage vehicle, popular between the 1930s and 1970s, offers a charming way to engage with the city's rich history and captivating streets.

After four hours filled with excitement on our jardineira, we will return you to the starting location to wrap up the tour.
