Diamantina Essentials

Diamantina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserves the architectural legacy of Brazil's 18th-century diamond boom. This selection explores the city’s winding cobblestone streets, featuring the childhood home of President Juscelino Kubitschek and the residence of Chica da Silva. The list highlights baroque churches like Nossa Senhora do Carmo, known for its unique rear-facing tower, and the Diamond Museum's colonial artifacts. Beyond the historic center, the natural pools of Cachoeira da Sentinela and the panoramic Mirante da Cruzinha offer views of the Serra dos Cristais landscape.
