Royal Route
Royal Route is the name of the path that the Portuguese used to transfer enormous quantities of gold from Minas to Rio, three hundred years ago. Remains of colonial churches, mansions and memorabilia are still found in museums, squares, stone-slab paved streets and dirt roads. Taking the Royal Route is one of the best ways to discover Minas Gerais and its rich colonial background and traditions.
