Top 26 things to do and attractions in Tiradentes

Anything near Tiradentes is beautiful and worth the trip. Very historical colonial Brasil

Gorgeous church, covered with gilded gold. Every detail is a joy to examine. Make sure to note the imported Portuguese organ.

Very charming.

Excellent site for a peaceful stroll. The fountain is relatively well preserved, resembling the facade of baroque churches. It was built in the 18th century, and was used to supply water to the residents of Tiradentes. Apparently, the three water spouts had different purposes (human consumption, another one for animals and the third one for washing clothes). At the back you can still see the aqueduct that supplies the water which comes from the Bosque da Mãe D'Agua (access seems closed now).

You can check some beautiful Aleijadinho pieces of art!!

Closed for renovations as of September 11, 2024.

Great art as a reminder of visit to Brazil. Also very nice to meet Sergio and his wife.

I'm not a big fan of cars. However this place is fantastic. You can see a large variety of old cars. There are more than 80 different cars in this museum. It's trip to the past. It's really worth to visit.

Fantastic museum! Just 5 rooms but I spent about 1.5 hrs enjoying the diverse collection. On the upper floor there's a digital panel with descriptions of each object in both Portuguese and English. There are also printed guides for each room in English, French and Spanish.

(Translated by Google) Magnificent stone bridge with two Roman arches, built in the 18th century. Crossing the stone bridge over the Ribeiro de Santo Antônio, you reach the charming Largo das Forras. The bridge and the square have the same name, a reference to the freed slaves who lived there during the colonial era. Largo das Forras was named this way because it was the place where slaves received their letters of freedom. (Original) Magnífica ponte de pedra com dois arcos romanos, construída no século XVIII. Atravessando a ponte de pedra sob o Ribeiro de Santo Antônio, chega-se ao simpático Largo das Forras. Ponte e largo possuem o mesmo nome, uma referência aos escravos alforriadas que aí moravam na época colonial. O largo das forras foi assim nomeado, por ter sido o local onde os escravos recebiam suas cartas de alforria.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful!! It is one of the simplest churches in the city and can even go unnoticed with its facade without towers, with the bell located in one of the windows. The Brotherhood of Saint John the Evangelist of the Brown Men was founded around 1740 in the Santo Antônio Parish Church. The image of Saint John appeared on the side altarpiece of the Descent of Christ from the Cross, where an image of him still exists in the parish church, at the foot of the cross. 004 (Original) Lindíssima!! Ela está entre as mais simples igrejas da cidade e pode até passar despercebida com sua fachada sem torres, sendo o sino disposto em uma das janelas. A Irmandade de São João Evangelista dos Homens Pardos foi fundada por volta de 1740 na igreja Matriz de Santo Antônio. A imagem de São João surgiu no retábulo lateral do Descendimento de Cristo da Cruz, onde atualmente ainda existe uma imagem dele na matriz, ao pé da cruz. 004

Excellent waterfall, albeit practically empty during our two visits. Just over 2km trail to arrive which is worthwhile alone, very straightforward path (don't need a guide) with a couple of short inclines. Slightly uphill inbound. Waterfall itself has various upper pools which are deep enough to completely submerge in (in December, following a brief raing period), as well as a larger fall and pool below. Super recommended!

(Translated by Google) The trail is long, but the view is breathtaking! You need to be physically prepared and some points are not accessible. In the right season, the reward is the waterfalls and wells along the way (which are all dry at this time). (Original) A trilha é longa, mas a vista é de tirar o fôlego! Precisa ter preparo físico e alguns pontos nao sao acessíveis. Na época certa, a recompensa sao as cachoeiras e poços no caminho (que nesta epoca estao todas secas).

(Translated by Google) Atelier Route – Moebius Curve – On the way from Tiradentes Train Station, after the Maria Fumaça train ride, to the historic center of Tiradentes, we find the atelier of Valin Branco, a renowned sculptor. In this exhibition entitled Moebius Curve and with the slogan “sculptures in precious woods” we can see the carving technique, the vision of using the grains of different woods, the precision of the finish and the care of the shapes, combined with a fundamental concept: the Moebius curve. Here, unlike any other atelier, we are encouraged to touch the pieces, giving literal meaning to the work, which takes on new forms and sharpens the senses. Wonderful work. Oh! The service was excellent, unfortunately I don't remember the name of the attendant. The brochure contains a brief description of the exhibition: “The Moebius curve is a famous non-orientable surface, that is, it is not possible to define a continuous and never-zero normal vector field on it. Another way of seeing this is that there is a ‘disoriented’ closed curve, that is, a closed curve in such a way that if we start with a vector normal to the surface, and go around the curve placing a vector normal to the surface at each point in such a way that it varies continuously with the curve parameter, when we complete a lap the normal vector at the end is the opposite of the initial one. If an ant walks along this curve it will return to the starting point ‘upside down’.” (Original) Rota dos Atelies – Curva de Moebius – No caminho à pé da Estação Ferroviária de Tiradentes, após o passeio de Maria Fumaça, até o centro histórico de Tiradentes encontramos o ateliê de Valin Branco, um escultor renomado. Nesta exposição com o título de Curva de Moebius e o slogan “esculturas em madeiras preciosas” podemos ver a técnica de entalhe, a visão de aproveitamento dos veios das diferentes madeiras, o apuro do acabamento e o esmero das formas, unidas a um conceito fundamentado: a curva de Moebius. Aqui, diferentemente de qualquer ateliê, somos incentivados tocar nas peças, dando sentido literal ao trabalho, que ganha novas formas e aguça os sentidos. Maravilhoso trabalho. Ah! O atendimento foi primoroso, infelizmente não me recordo o nome da atendente. No folder uma breve sobre a exposição: “A curva de Moebius é uma famosa superfície não orientável, isto é, não é possível definir sobre ela um campo vetorial normal nunca nulo e contínuo. Outra forma de ver isso é que existe uma curva fechada ‘desorientada’, isto é, uma curva fechada de tal forma que se iniciarmos com um vetor normal à superfície, e percorrermos a curva colocando em cada ponto um vetor normal à superfície de forma a variar continuamente com o parâmetro da curva, ao completarmos uma volta o vetor normal no final é o oposto do inicial. Se uma formiga sair andando sobre essa curva voltará ao ponto inicial ‘de ponta cabeça’.”

(Translated by Google) No one answered us, so we just looked at the lower part where there are these beautiful paintings. (Original) Ninguém nos atendeu, então ficamos olhando só a parte debaixo onde tem essas pinturas lindas.

Really worth visiting. Type of attraction one must see and support. They’ve been around for 30 years now and are celebrating it with a special presentation. Kids will have a blast! Adults will warm their hearts. I highly recommend it.

Unique pieces that are clearly well crafted. Diverse art- from jewelry, to wood carvings, to paintings and weaponry. Helped us understand some of the customs limitations in taking pieces out of the country.

(Translated by Google) For art lovers. The artist has several works of sacred art. He collects true works of art. Artistic content by theme, including works by friends, notable artists, as well as the epic of Don Quixote de la Mancha (Original) Para amantes da arte. O Artista tem diversos trabalhos da arte sacra. Coleciona verdadeiras obras de arte. Conteúdo artístico por temas, inclui de amigos, notáveis nas artes, bem como a epopéia de Dom Quixote de la mancha

(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed the exhibition. (Original) Curti muito a exposição.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, charming, from there you can visit São João and Tiradentes. (Original) Lindo ,encantador ,de lá é possível São João e Tiradentes.

(Translated by Google) The stunning and privileged view of Tiradentes and the surrounding area is well worth the effort of the trail to reach this point. The mountain range as a whole is very beautiful and worth the hike, but be prepared for sections of moderate effort and technical difficulty. (Original) Vista impressionante e privilegiada de Tiradentes e dos arredores, vale o esforço da trilha para alcançar esse ponto. A serra como um todo é muito bonita e vale o passeio, mas esteja preparado para trechos de esforço e dificuldade técnica moderados.
