Minas Gerais Luxury Vacations, Experiential Tours and Gem Travel Packages
Minas Gerais, Brazil's fifth-largest state, is larger than France, and with almost 18 million inhabitants is relatively densely populated. Gold and diamond prospecting during the colonial era had a profound effect on this mountainous region, not the least significant of which was that many Baroque art treasures were financed by profits from the mines.
Apart from precious stones, the state also has large deposits of iron ore, manganese, bauxite, zinc and other minerals; it also has numerous sites of historical interest to offer. The meat-processing and dairy industries, as well as food products such as coffee, sugar cane and fruit, make significant contributions to the economic well-being of Minas, as the state is usually called.
The Mineiros, the inhabitants of this prosperous corner of Brazil, are different from Cariocas, Paulistas, or Bahianos. They have a reputation for being reserved, distrustful, tight-lipped and thrifty, but at the same time hard-working and mindful of their traditions. Minas Gerais has given Brazil many of its famous citizens, among them presidents, artists, and the renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer.
