Belo Horizonte

Welcome to Belo Horizonte
Known to locals as Beagá (pronounced 'bay-ah-gah', Portuguese for BH), Belo Horizonte was named for its beautiful view of nearby mountains. Urban sprawl may make it a little more challenging to appreciate the natural setting nowadays, but Brazil’s third-largest city still has considerable charm.

Parque Guanabara Admission Ticket
Visit: Parque Guanabara, Belo Horizonte, State of Minas GeraisStill 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. Guanabara's identity clearly reflects the image and spirit of its creator, with an obsessive preoccupation with the quality of the service provided, as well as the security, trademark of the company.
