Ouro Preto (Brazil) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Ouro Preto in Brazil.
Around five hundred kilometres north of Rio De Janeiro, deep within the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, is a most remarkable place. Ouro Preto was discovered at the end of the seventeenth century by Portuguese gold prospectors. They found black gold which changed colour due to its iron content. Thus a prosperous gold town was born with fascinating Baroque and rococo architecture that has survived right up to the present day. The region’s substantial mineral resources helped to create numerous magnificent buildings such as the Igreja De São Francisco De Assis that was completed by the Franciscan Order in 1820. It is one of the most impressive Baroque churches in Latin America. Cleverly, and rather than pay excessive taxes to the Portuguese crown, the town’s colonials successfully hid much of their gold in the artwork of Ouro Preto’s sacred buildings. Thus the treasures created by human hand live on and are now the fabulous legacy of a truly golden past!

Belo Horizonte - Principais Pontos Turísticos
Belo Horizonte - Principais Pontos Turísticos
Belo Horizonte é um município brasileiro e a capital do estado de Minas Gerais. Sua população estimada é de 2,5 milhões de habitantes, sendo o 6º município mais populoso do país, segundo o IBGE. Com uma área de aproximadamente 331 km², a cidade possui uma geografia diversificada, com morros e baixadas. Ela está a 716 quilômetros de Brasília, a capital nacional, sendo a segunda capital de estado mais próxima da capital federal, atrás apenas de Goiânia.
Cercada pela Serra do Curral, que lhe serve de moldura natural e referência histórica, Belo Horizonte foi planejada e construída para ser a capital política e administrativa do estado de Minas Gerais sob influência das ideias do positivismo, num momento de forte apelo da ideologia republicana no país.Ela viveu um inesperado e acelerado crescimento populacional, chegando a mais de um milhão de habitantes com setenta anos de fundação. Entre as décadas de 1930 e 1940, houve também o avanço da industrialização, além de muitas construções de inspiração modernista, notadamente as casas do bairro Cidade Jardim, que ajudaram a definir a fisionomia da cidade.
De acordo com a estimativa realizada pelo IBGE em 2017, sua população era de 2 523 794 habitantes, sendo o mais populoso município de Minas Gerais, o terceiro da Região Sudeste, depois de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro, e o sexto mais populoso do Brasil. A capital mineira é também sede da terceira concentração urbana mais populosa do país. Belo Horizonte já foi indicada pelo Population Crisis Commitee, da ONU, como a metrópole com melhor qualidade de vida na América Latina e a 45ª entre as 100 melhores cidades do mundo. Em 2010, Belo Horizonte gerou 1,4% do PIB do país, e em 2013 era o quarto maior PIB entre os municípios brasileiros, responsável por 1,53% do total das riquezas produzidas no país. Uma evidência do desenvolvimento da cidade nos últimos tempos é a classificação da revista América Economía, na qual, já em 2009, Belo Horizonte aparecia como uma das dez melhores cidades para fazer negócios da América Latina, segunda do Brasil e à frente de cidades como Rio de Janeiro, Brasília e Curitiba.
A cidade é mundialmente conhecida e exerce significativa influência nacional e até internacional, seja do ponto de vista cultural, econômico ou político. Ela conta com importantes monumentos, parques e museus, como: o Museu de Arte da Pampulha, o Museu de Artes e Ofícios, o Museu de Ciências Naturais da PUC Minas, o Circuito Cultural Praça da Liberdade, o Conjunto Arquitetônico da Pampulha, o Mercado Central e a Savassi, e eventos de grande repercussão, como o Festival Internacional de Teatro, Palco e Rua (FIT-BH), Festival Internacional de Curtas e o Encontro Internacional de Literaturas em Língua Portuguesa. Ela é também nacionalmente conhecida como a capital nacional dos botecos, por existirem mais bares per capita do que em qualquer outra grande cidade do Brasil.

Ouro Preto in Brazil - World Heritage Site by Unesco ( Full HD )
Ouro Preto (from Portuguese, Black Gold) is a city in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, a former colonial mining town located in the Serra do Espinhaço mountains and designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO because of its outstanding Baroque architecture.
Founded at the end of the 16th century, Ouro Preto (meaning Black Gold) was originally called Vila Rica, or rich village, the focal point of the gold rush and Brazil's golden age in the 18th century under Portuguese rule.
The city contains well-preserved Portuguese colonial architecture, with few signs of modern urban life. Modern construction must adhere to historical standards maintained by the city. 18th- and 19th-century churches decorated with gold and the sculptured works of Aleijadinho make Ouro Preto a prime tourist destination.
The tremendous wealth from gold mining in the 18th century created a city which attracted the intelligentsia of Europe. Philosophy and art flourished, and evidence of a baroque revival called the Barroco Mineiro is illustrated in architecture as well as by sculptors such as Aleijadinho, painters such as Mestre Athayde, composers such as Lobo de Mesquita, and poets such as Tomás António Gonzaga. At that time, Vila Rica was the largest city in Brazil, with 100,000 inhabitants.
In 1789, Ouro Preto became the birthplace of the Inconfidência Mineira, a failed attempt to gain independence from Portugal. The leading figure, Tiradentes, was hanged as a threat to any future revolutionaries.
In 1876, the Escola de Minas (Mines School) was created. This school established the technological foundation for several of the mineral discoveries in Brazil.
Ouro Preto was capital of Minas Gerais from 1720 until 1897, when the needs of government outgrew this town in the valley. The state government was moved to the new, planned city of Belo Horizonte.
Ouro Preto is also a university town with an intense student life. The Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto (Federal University of Ouro Preto or UFOP) has approximately 13,000 students. Many of them live in communal houses that are somewhat similar to fraternity houses as found in North American colleges. These communal or shared houses are called repúblicas, of which 66 belong to the university, called repúblicas federais, and 250 are privately owned (repúblicas particulares).
The repúblicas system of Ouro Preto in unique in Brazil. No other university city in the country has exactly the same characteristics of the student lodging found there. In many ways, the lodging is similar to that found in Portuguese universities such as the Coimbra and the tradition may have come from there. Before universities were founded in Brazil, Coimbra was where most of the rich students who could afford an overseas education went to. Each república has its own different history. There are repúblicas in which the freshmen, also known as bixos (misspelling of bichos, Portuguese for animals), have to undergo a hazing period, called batalha (battle), before being accepted permanently as residents of the houses. The final choice of the freshmen, called escolha, has to be unanimous among the senior students of the house.
The Museu Mineralógico Da Escola De Minas (Mineralogy Museum) can be of special interest to visitors. It belongs to the Mining School of the prestigious UFOP. The School opened its doors on 12 October 1823. The Museum is located at the Praça Tiradentes (No. 20), in the town's historical center, and contains a rich assortment of minerals on display, including precious and semi-precious gemstones and large crystals. Security is tight, however (for example, no cameras are allowed), due to the incalculable value of the gemstones and ores on display.
