You will find the gold mine just 350 metres from Tiradentes Square. It is the largest mine open to visitors, with more than 600 metres of galleries spread across four levels. The scale and layout of the site give a clear sense of the extent of 18th-century mining activity in the area.
A guide will accompany you throughout the tour, explaining the history of this 18th-century treasure as you move through the galleries. Along the way you will explore passages on each of the four levels and hear about the mine’s past from a local perspective. The visit combines close-up views of the underground spaces with historical context, helping you understand both the physical site and its place in the region’s history.
