Initially, with the intense mining activity in Minas Gerais, which gave rise to numerous historic cities still preserved today, and the transfer of the capital of Brazil from savior to Rio de Janeiro (in 1763). Then, when the coffee produced in the region became the main engine of the country's economy, followed by the industrialization process, which from the 1930s onwards brought development to the region.

Speak
English is usually only spoken by tourist companies (hotels and some more tourist-oriented restaurants) and by the well-educated upper classes. Don't assume everyone speaks Spanish. Brazilians do not like to be confused with Spanish speakers and some may find it rude to be approached in Spanish. Portuguese is spoken with accent variations and some vocabulary adjustments. Some may be interesting for the traveler to know:
- Traffic light: Signal (in Minas), lighthouse (in São Paulo)
Look
- colonial heritage is preserved in many small towns, such as Paraty, Black gold, Tiradentes, and diamond. The old Brazilian baroque churches, courts, baths and city halls recall the stories of early immigration, the "Inconfidência Mineira" against the Portuguese crown and the gold and diamond rushes for which Minas Gerais is named.

drink and go out
You can enjoy a delicious caipirinha. This drink is Brazil's national cocktail, made with cachaça, sugar and lemon. Cachaça is the most common distilled alcoholic beverage in Brazil. While both rum and cachaça are made from products derived from sugar cane, most rum is made from molasses. Specifically with cachaça, alcohol results from the fermentation of sugarcane juice that is later distilled.
