Belo Horizonte is Brazil’s third-largest city. Wander around Praca da Liberdade, a large park comprising art deco buildings built in the 1940s. Visit Sao Francisco de Assis and Lagoa da Pampulha, a popular church standing above a lake. The highlight of the church is it's exterior covered in azulejo tile panels. See a vast collection of over 2500 minerals from the mines of Minas Gerais at the Mineralogy Museum from the 17th to 21st centuries through audiovisual installations and interactive galleries. Spend an evening at Parque Municipal, a sprawling park with century-old trees, a theater, several gardens, and a lake with boat rides.
