Welcome to Minas Gerais
For those seeking a tangible sense of Brazilian history, no state compares with Minas Gerais. The tortuous cobblestone streets and baroque monuments of colonial mining towns like Ouro Preto, Tiradentes and Diamantina have seen it all, from the horrors of slavery to the fervor of Brazil's 18th-century independence movement.

Parque Guanabara Admission Ticket
Visit: Parque GuanabaraStill in the mid-1940s, young mechanic Paulo Pereira Dias began his long walk in the world of amusement parks, in the suburb of Rio de Janeiro, capital of the former state of Guanabara, working in a large park at the time. Self-taught, in a short time the talent for creation and construction of amusement equipment emerged in the young entrepreneur, and in the next decade he was recognized nationally for the quality and beauty of his toys. His entrepreneurial spirit and pioneer led him to found, in 1951, the Guanabara Center for Fun, a name that honors the land where it all began. Like most parks of its time, the Guanabara was itinerant, and was in almost all the cities of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais, carrying their lights and their joy. He arrived in Belo Horizonte in 1964, staying in Avenida Pedro II, in 1967 in B. Carlos Prates and in 1969 in B. New Switzerland, ending up permanently settling in Pampulha in 1970.
