Wonderful place with fabulous landscaping and beautiful buildings. The works of art are amazing. It is a match of architecture, nature and art. The space is very well maintained with a lot of restrooms and a lot of beautiful benches to sit and enjoy the views. There are two very good restaurants and a lot of cafés.

The Furnas Canyons are a “must go” place. The water is crystal clear and there are incredible water falls that drop directly into the lake. Water temperature is comfortable.

This museum of Brazilian history at Praca Tiradentes was at one time a prison.
Reviewed By marcosf293 - Brasilia, Brazil
Museum to think about the Brazilian colonial period, the dominant presence of the Portuguese crown during the gold cycle, and the reactions of sectors of society to the taxes that were charged. The museum discusses customs of the time, the evolution of constructions, artifacts used in mining, the lifestyle, and is dedicated to the thinkers of "Inconfidência Mineira". This movement was formed by representatives of the economic elite of the time, dissatisfied with taxes, who met and talked about libertarian ideals. The rupture with the crown did not happen, since they were denounced as conspirators. Joaquim Silvério dos Reis denounced them, he was a miner who had tax debts, and bargained his debt in exchange for the denunciation of libertarians. Then, after three years of investigation, ten libertarians were sentenced to death, but only one was actually executed: Joaquim José da Silva Xavier ("Tiradentes": the dentist). It is believed that Tiradentes was executed because he was not from a wealthy family, had no education (he was an amateur dentist, merchant, and lieutenants of the imperial cavalry), and also because he assumed his libertarian ideals in interrogations, so he was considered the leader. The rest were expelled to Africa, where they died, and their remains were repatriated in the 1940s. This place arouses many emotions.

I went here on January 11 and 13, 2021. My main objective was to picture some birds and maybe other wildlife. On the first day many waterfalls were closed. I started going around the circuito das lagoas. I saw a good deal of birds there. Around 11.00 I walked towards the cachoeira do Capao, the only one open to visit this day. The waterfall was nice. There were quite many other visitors. The second day was nicer.I hired a bike at the entrance, and went for the cachoeira da Farofa and the canyon at the other extreme of the park. It was interesting to have to pass through some large bodies of water crossing over the roads and trails. The waterfall was nice, and drew many visitors. The great dusky swift is a bird that hangs out there. The canyon was alright too, although I didn't have time to explore it properly, and I drowned my phone while crossing the river to get there. Some kind of rail to hold on to while crossing would be nice there. Generally, the landscape is awesome. A serious drawback is that the place is hard to reach unless you have your own car. Taxis don't want to bring you over the entrance road, because it is in a bad condition, and the walk of 5 km lets you start the trails somewhat fatigued already. There is a bike rent in town, but it opens only at 8.00, at which time the park is already open.

Nice, beautiful and well preserved park. The entrance is free. They may ask for some id but that's all. You can walk your way in, go by car, motorcicle or bike. The roas inside tha park are good dirt roads. No pets allowed. Beatiful scenery. Wonderfull waterfalls. No barbecue allowed witch is good. Inside the park there is a village were once was a cloth industry and a hydroelectric plant, both deactivated. In the village, two restaurantes serve typical local food.
