Belo Horizonte Travel Blogs

Festa de Junia is a holiday of sorts that is very popular in the state of Minias Gerias.  It is sort of the equivalent of a summer barbeque, but instead is in the middle of winter (june), because Brasil gets super hot in the summer. Festa de Junia is a celebration of the ranching culture that…

Brasil has truly taken my heart captive.  The sights, smells, and sounds of the busy city of Belo Horizonte seem so familiar now.  How does one begin to put down on paper all the emotions experienced in a short 3 week visit? I flew down with my best friend, Robin, who actually lived in B…

Took the opportunity to get some money out, eat our first meal of the day at about 2pm and…

my trip to Brasil

I moved to São Paulo in July after graduating from college, hoping to get to know brazil better while living with some family and teaching english. I dropped the teaching gig in december, and i've been backpacking the country since.

After getting to BH from Ouro Preto, I decided just to chill out for a day (as I'm obviously tired from my exercions recently) - so can't really report anything about BH as I'm flying out of here tomorrow to Brasilia.  Yes, my planning was a bit poor which has meant I haven't got to see any of…
