Diamantina

Diamantina is a city in southeastern Brazil. It’s known for the 18th- and 19th-century wooden mansions lining its narrow streets. The Diamond Museum displays artifacts from the city’s diamond mining past. Nearby, the blue and white Metropolitan Cathedral of Santo Antônio da Sé has baroque-style altars. Diamantina is also a gateway to the waterfalls, wildlife and cave paintings of Biribiri State Park, to the north.

Diamantina is a beautiful city to visit and has a lot of interest things to see. I love it.
It's a simple building that represents an interesting piece of Brazilian history - it was a house of a important black woman in the same time of slavery. The house is very well keeping and the visit is pleasant but I missed more about her and local history inside the house.
This place does not seem to be open to the public
Reopens beginning of January. Well preserved on colourful setting.
Boring, but the whole city is boring, so....

Small but interesting museum that showcases the mining history of the place, and life back in the old days.
It is a small museun but it is very interesting and there are a lot of pictures and old piece.
On restauration right now so it’s closed
Impressionante, bittersweet.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place with rare nature to see and feel. We were lucky to be there at a time when there was no one there and the silence was impressive. The rocks look like cathedrals, they are gigantic and impressive sculptures. There has been mining there in the past and, therefore, there has been human action there. But nothing detracts from the beauty and spirituality of the place. The path is easy, but since there are stairs and we walk on rocks, it is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties. It is best to go with someone who knows the path, but it is not dangerous. (Original) Lugar belíssimo com natureza rara de se ver e sentir. Tivemos a sorte de estar numa hora que não tinha ninguém e o silêncio estava impressionante. As rochas parecem catedrais, são esculturas gigantescas e impressionantes. Ali já teve extração e, portanto, tem ação do homem por ali. Mas nada inviabiliza a beleza e a espiritualidade do local. O caminho é fácil, mas, como tem uma escada e caminhamos sobre pedras, não é adequado para pessoas com dificuldades de locomoção. O melhor é ir com quem conhece o caminho, mas não é perigoso.
(Translated by Google) We went on a Saturday morning, we didn't book in advance, and we didn't hire a guide. We were apprehensive due to concerns about the safety of the area after speaking with some locals. However, taking the risk was the best decision we made. Easy access, safe, we were able to park right at the entrance, the trail is very easy, it's an extraordinary place, well worth visiting!!!!! (Original) Fomos em um sábado pela manhã, não agendamos, não contratamos o serviço de guia. Ficamos receosos devido a insegurança do local após conversamos com alguns moradores locais. Porém, arriscarmos é foi a melhor decisão que tomamos fácil acesso, seguro, conseguimos estacionar na porta, a trilha é bem fácil, é um lugar extraordinário vale muito a pena conhecer !!!!!
(Translated by Google) Very interesting place, the rock formations form beautiful sculptures. I went without an appointment, none of the phone numbers I found online answered, there was no one in charge and there was no infrastructure. Bring snacks and water. (Original) Local muito interessante, as formações rochosas formam belas esculturas. Fui sem agendar, nenhum dos telefones que encontrei na internet atendem, não há ninguém tomando conta e não conta com nenhuma infraestrutura. Leve lanche e água.
(Translated by Google) A place of singular beauty, the formations are quite impressive. Free admission, but you can hire a guide for a visit with more information and security, for R$30. The road to the site is completely paved. (Original) Lugar com beleza singular, as formações impressionam bastante. Entrada gratuita, mas tem a opção de contratar um guia para uma visita com mais informações e segurança, por R$30. A estrada até o local é toda pavimentada.
(Translated by Google) Incredible place, the trail is quite short. The acoustics are amazing and fantastic. Worth a visit ✨✋ (Original) Lugar incrível, a trilha bem curta. Acústica do lugar e muito da hora. Vale a pena visitação ✨✋
(Translated by Google) Amazing place Free Free parking Self-guided tour There are stairs But it's easy I loved visiting (Original) Lugar incrível Gratuito Estacionamento Gratuito Auto guiado Tem escadas Mas é tranquilo Amei conhecer
