Ouro Preto was a gold mining colonial town in the 18th century, now a UNESCO heritage site for its architecture. It is located in the state of Minas Gerais.
What surprised me most apart from the baroque churches in Ouro Preto is the hilly landscapes. Walking along the steep pebbled streets is pretty hazardous... How do old people survive this? I myself felt like 100 years old trying to walk back to my 'pousada' (guest house).
Aside from that, very pretty city, peaceful, pleasant. I had a very relaxing time there.
I visited a gold mine and that was quite impressive too. Gold everywhere!!! Still... Problem is, if you dig any more, the city right above our heads would collapse over us. Gneh, to hell with the gold, human life is more important. Or is it?
It was also my first time in a brazilian Executive Bus. Wow, in a nutshell, it's like an airline business class. They even serve food!
When I say hilly, I mean hilly.
The sculptor of this church had lost his hands and would sculpt tying sticks to his arms... ...
