Cristina

Located in a mountainous region, Cristina is a typical Minas city that still preserves and displays its rich history, via house façades and cultural monuments. The name of the city pays homage to Dona Tereza Cristina, the wife of D. Pedro II. The city’s Train Museum tells the history of the old Supacaí iron railroad. The Divino Espírito Santo Centennial Parish Church is a place of devotion for the local population and its farms produce the best speciality coffee in the world, winning international competitions. The high quality crafts from this area are also very attractive. The main tourist attractions are natural, and include the Rio do Bode Cave and the Pico do Alemão. Among its rural areas, Cristina offers tourists the beautiful Boa Vista Farm, and also packed with waterfalls and native forests; it has become the new alternative for tourists who seek a calm place with a mild climate and hospitable people.
