Touristic Train in Minas Gerais, Brazil

View Larger Map

Ouro Preto is the old gold town (late 1600s) near Belo Horizonte.   Easily reached by bus form Belo Horizonte and makes for a good day trip.

There is a new (for me) train available from Ouro Preto to the nearby old mining town of Mariana, founded in 1696 and Minas Gerais’ first capital.
