Minas Gerais is a state with a ton of rural tradition, boasting farms of a productive and traditional nature, in addition to a hospitable and friendly population.  For those who would like to experience the traditional hospitality of the Minas Gerais people, with the authenticity of their causes, legends and traditions, as well as their crafts and rural technologies, one can always get to know the farms and traditional country inns. Many of these are located in idyllic villages along the historically celebrated Estrada Real (Royal Highway).

Beyond the commitment to agricultural activities, rural tourism finds itself more and more defined by the appreciation of the cultural and ecological heritage of Minas Gerais.  To go horseback riding, have lunch in front of a wood stove, to each a delicious homemade dulce de leche, and to enjoy a beautiful country sunset is, without doubt, an unforgettable experience for somebody who yearns to escape the busy life of the big cities.
