This baroque style church is very lavish inside, reflecting a period in which religious orders competed with each other to build the richest church.

History, art combined in a beautiful church. I recommend you get a good guide to see all there is to enjoy at this church. Optical Illusions and stunning historical religious artifacts are available to view. I totally recommend visiting it

In the middle of downtown, is a peaceful place to appreciate a well preserved catholic church. They recently repainted the church to its original colors. If you are walking down the city its a good place to spend a quiet time.

For me the primary reason to visit this sanctuary was the maned wolf, which comes to feed here almost every evening. I booked three nights to be sure to see it, and it did not disappoint. The maned wolf showed up every evening, and in addition a dog of the forest (cachorro do mata) appeared on two evenings, and there was even a tapir waiting in the dark, to approach the food when it would be more quiet. Unfortunately, humans chased away the tapir by putting it full in the spotlights of their cameras. In the morning one can see birds around the sanctuary. During the day, the best option is to hike along some of the trails, usually to some cachoeiras (waterfalls) or mirantes. To walk to the peaks one needs to book a guide, which I didn't do. The situation of the sanctuary in the middle of the nature, in the middle of a valley, gives an immense sense of peace and untouched nature. When you don't feel like walking, you can visit the (pretty small) museum, the catacombs, or just drink a coconut in the bar at the entrance. You could spend a week here without getting bored.

Beautiful church in Mariana city. Despite being a church from the period known as the gold cycle, there is no gold in the decor of this church, but cedar wood. It is a cozy and peaceful place, which has its beauty, but it is also simple. You are allowed to go to the tower to see the bells, and the beautiful view of the city. It's lovely.
10. Paroquia da Catedral Basilica de Nossa Senhora do Pilar
