Introducing Diamantina
Isolated but fabulous, Diamantina is one of Brazil’s prettiest and least-visited colonial towns. Surrounded by desolate mountains, it was the remotest mining town in Minas and the starting point for the Caminho dos Escravos, the old road to the coast built with the sweat, blood and tears of thousands of African slaves. Diamantina’s fine mansions and winding streets haven’t changed much in the last 200 years. Designated a Unesco World Heritage site in 1999, this cidade histórica is also the birthplace of Juscelino Kubitschek, former Brazilian president and founder of Brasília.
