- Day tour in Congonhas

Let's explore Congonhas, located 70 km from Belo Horizonte in the Alto Paraopeba region. Congonhas attracts tourists from all over Brazil and the world who come to admire the great work of the Baroque artist Antônio Francisco Lisboa, better known as Aleijadinho. At the Bom Jesus de Matozinhos Sanctuary, the master Aleijadinho sculpted the famous life-size images of twelve prophets in soapstone.
Another attraction in Congonhas is the six chapels that make up the Garden of the Steps in front of the Basilica, representing the Stations of the Cross with beautiful cedar wood images also made by Aleijadinho. Due to its richness and grandeur, this ensemble was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
