Ouro Preto Vacation Guide

An old minning city that has since become a World Heritage Site by Unesco due to its pure architectural beauty.

Set in the centre of a lush green valley, Ouro Preto or the City of the Black Gold, is such a contrast to the Brazilian cities such as Rio. In Contrast, Ouro Preto seems to be set in the olden days still. With a church around every corner and really old beat up vintage cars lining the streets.
