Faremos uma caminhada histórica percorrendo ruas e pontos emblemáticos da história de Ouro Preto, tais como a igreja considerada a segunda mais rica do Brasil, o Chafariz do Largo do Cinema, que era importante ponto de encontro da população escravizada, e o hotel projetado por Niemeyer. Todo o percurso será recheado de informações históricas, dicas para aproveitar a cidade, e pausas para fotos e para apreciar a paisagem circundante. O passeio tem duração média de 3h (considerando as pausas para fotos e explicações) e no percurso é inevitável atravessar algumas ladeiras. Por isso, é importante ter fôlego e capacidade física para enfrentar subidas. Mas não precisa assustar, pois o ritmo da caminhada é determinado por você e seguindo suas limitações, ok? Para uma experiência mais agradável, grupos com mais de seis pessoas serão divididos em dois: um guiado por mim e outro guiado pelo Pedro, meu coanfitrião.
