In this jardineira tour of Ouro Preto, we'll explore the city traditionally while enjoying a panoramic tour to take in the city's primary attractions uniquely.

Tour Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Ouro Preto and embark on a jardineira for an authentic experience. The tour begins at Largo de Coimbra, where we’ll visit the São Francisco de Assis Church and explore its interior. We will then pass through Praça Tiradentes, Rua São José, and Largo do Rosário, home to the Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos Church.

Next, we proceed to the Ouro Preto train station, operational since 1888, and explore the city's monumental complex with stops at the Aleijadinho museum, Basilica do Pilar, and Church of Santa Efigênia. This segment covers the historical importance of the municipality during the colonial period, illustrated by its religious architecture.

The jardineira will navigate the maze-like streets of Ouro Preto, enabling views of the Bridge of Sighs and the Santa Rita Mine from this vintage vehicle, popular from the 1930s to 1970s. After 4 hours of adventure, we will drop you off at your hotel.
