Why you should visit it
Once in Belo Horizonte, book a day for a walk in the park. It comprises an ecosystem with centennial trees and a wide variety of animal and plant species. Several springs supplies three lagoons and around 280 species of exotic and native trees. It is a true refuge for wildlife! The park also houses a theater, an orchidarium and an amusement park.
Special tip
On saturdays, sundays and holidays, the place becomes very crowded. And inevitably dirty. Unless you want to see natives having fun, avoid those days.
