Rei do Mato and Maquiné Caves + Guimaraes Rosa Museum Tour

This trip to the Rei do Mato and Maquiné Caves is perfect to experience some real caving. We'll also visit the Guimaraes Rosa Museum, where we'll discover the life and work of this illustrious author.

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll collect you from your hotel in Belo Horizonte to make our way towards the Rei do Mato Cave, located in the city of Sete Lagoas.

Extending to 998 metres (3274 ft.) in length, Rei do Mato is one of the largest caves in Minas Gerais. In this cavern, we'll tour 220 metres (721 ft.) where we'll see imposing stalactites and stalagmites.

Afterwards, we'll journey to the Maquiné Cave, in Codisburgo. This cave is considered the cradle of palaeontology in Brazil. There, we'll visit 7 galleries carved out by nature.

You'll have an hour of free time to eat, and once you've finished, we'll visit the Guimarães Rosa Museum-House, also in Codisburgo. This historic spot was home to writer João Guimarães Rosa. Inside, we'll admire an exhibition of more than 700 pieces of his life and legacy.

Finally, we'll return to Belo Horizonte, completing this adventure after 10 hours.
