Brumadinho – MG Destination Belo Horizonte

How to get there

  • Aeroporto Internacional de Belo Horizonte – Tancredo Neves (CNF) Confins
  • Terminal Rodoviário de Brumadinho

Approximate road distances. Check flights and bus schedules before you travel.

Arrival can be by road or with an air leg followed by ground transport. Aeroporto Internacional de Belo Horizonte 20 3 Tancredo Neves is an option to consider depending on available connections. For buses, confirm the drop-off point and arrange the onward journey to your accommodation.

How many days

We suggest three days to visit Inhotim and the Centro Histórico de Piedade do Paraopeba at a relaxed pace and to spread out the other outings. One day requires selecting the closest points; two days allow you to split activities and reduce travel.

When to go

Plan outdoor activities according to the weather forecast and local conditions. Weekdays outside holidays can make scheduling more flexible. Keep an alternative in case rain, wind or access restrictions prevent the main outing.

Do you need a car?

A car or hired transport makes it easier to combine distant points. For urban sections, concentrate walking in one area per period. Bus travelers should also confirm local transport and organize the return from outings before departing.
